Dietary fatty acids and lipoproteins on progression of age-related macular degeneration

Abstract: SUMMARY:Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a medical condition of central loss vision and blindness. Numerous studies have revealed that changes on certain dietary fatty acids (FAs) could have useful for AMD management. This review summarizes the effects of dietary omega-3 long-chain PUFAs, MUFAs, and SFAs, and lipoproteins on AMD. Findings are consistent with the beneficial role of dietary omega-3 long-chain PUFAs, while the effects of dietary MUFAs and SFAs appeared to be ambiguous with respect to the… Show more

“…The loss of integrity and functionality of RPE cells involves irreversible damage to the photoreceptors and consequently a loss of central vision. This is known as age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) (Montserrat‐de la Paz, Naranjo, Bermudez, et al, ), which is the leading cause of blindness and its prevalence continues to increase in parallel with the increase in life expectancy aging and change in lifestyle of the world population (Montserrat‐de la Paz et al, ).…”
