Macular xanthophylls, lipoprotein-related genes, and age-related macular degeneration.

The American journal of clinical nutrition - 1 Jul 2014

Koo Euna, Neuringer Martha, SanGiovanni John Paul

Abstract excerpt

Plant-based macular xanthophylls (MXs; lutein and zeaxanthin) and the lutein metabolite meso-zeaxanthin are the major constituents of macular pigment, a compound concentrated in retinal areas that are responsible for fine-feature visual sensation. There is an unmet need to examine the genetics of factors influencing regulatory mechanisms and metabolic fates of these 3 MXs because they are linked to processes...
