Abstract excerpt

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a degenerative disease of the eye, triggered by the damage of the macular cells. In the Western world it is the most frequent cause of blindness in the elderly. Oxidative stress is proved to play a key role in AMD pathogenesis and since iron accumulation has been found in AMD maculas, it may accelerate the oxidative processes in this tissue. In the present work we...
