摘要
A2E, an important constituent of lipofuscin in human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), is thought to mediate light-induced oxidative damage associated with aging and other ocular disorders. Ocular carotenoids in overlying retinal tissues were measured by HPLC and mass spectrometry and were correlated with levels of RPE A2E. We observed a statistically significant increase in total A2E levels in human RPE/choroid with age, and A2E levels in macular regions were approximately 1/3 lower than in peripheral retinal regions of the same size. There was a statistically significant inverse correlation between peripheral retina carotenoids and peripheral RPE/choroid A2E. Prospective carotenoid supplementation studies in Japanese quail demonstrated nearly complete inhibition of A2E formation and oxidation. These findings Support current recommendations to increase dietary intake of xanthophyll carotenoids in individuals at risk for macular degeneration and highlight a new potential mechanism for their Protective effects-inhibition of A2E formation and oxidation in the eye.
