Are low ergothioneine levels a risk factor for age-related macular degeneration and other ocular disorders?

2026-03-02

Abstract excerpt

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss in ageing populations, with oxidative stress recognised as a key pathogenic driver. The dietary antioxidant and cytoprotectant, L-ergothioneine (ET), is avidly accumulated in many tissues, especially the eye. However its relationship to AMD has not been investigated. Here, we examined ET’s distribution in ocular tissue and assess...
