About the Mechanism of Light-Induced Age-Related Decrease of Melanin Concentration in the Retinal Pigment Epithelium Cells

2023-07-27

Abstract excerpt

It is known that during the process of aging there is a significant decrease in the number of melanosomes in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells of the human eye. We have previously shown that the interaction of melanin melanosomes with superoxide radicals results in its oxidative degradation with the formation of water-soluble fluorescent products. In the present study, we show using fluorescence analysis,...
