Antioxidative Capacity of a Dietary Supplement on Retinal Hemodynamic Function in a Human Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) Model [Physiology and Pharmacology]
Conclusions.
The present data indicate restoring of the RBC flow response to 100% O2 after LPS administration. This is likely due to an amelioration of endothelial dysfunction resulting from oxidative stress, a factor involved in AMD pathophysiology. (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00914576.)
