Targeted Analysis of Tears Revealed Specific Altered Metal Homeostasis in Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

Abstract excerpt

Purpose: Specific altered metal homeostasis has been investigated in the tear film of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patients considering that metal dyshomeostasis contributes to the production of free radicals, inflammation, and apoptosis and results in conformational changes of proteins. Methods: A multitargeted approach based on spectrophotometry and mass spectrometry techniques has been implemented to...
