The age-related macular degeneration as a vascular disease/part of systemic vasculopathy: contributions to its pathogenesis

Abstract: A szem struktúráit vérrel ellátó érendothelium működészavarának kulcsfontosságú a szerepe az időskori maculadegeneráció létrejöttében, és indirekt bizonyítékok arra utalnak, hogy az időskori maculadegeneráció érbetegség, végső soron az egész érrendszer megbetegedésének a része. Az ártalmak, a rizikófaktorok oxidatív stresszhez vezetnek, ami aktiválja az endothelt, és szövetkárosodás alakul ki. Az erek, így a szem érhártyájában, a chorioideában lévő erek falát is számos ismétlődő és/vagy elhúzódó inger éri, ame… Show more

“…Several reports indicate alterations in telomere length in peripheral blood cells in AMD patients (e.g., [31,46,54,138]). Since AMD has strong local chorio-retinal characteristics, telomere changes in peripheral blood may not reflect changes in the macula [139,140]. As outlined in this review, some reports suggest a positive association between AMD and telomere length, some a negative one, and others a lack of any association.…”

“…Recent research suggests that retinal neurodegeneration may be caused by the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Angiotensin II (ATII) is known to mediate oxidative stress, induce angiogenesis, and result in retinal damage [ 52 , 53 ], while RAS is elevated in DR. The effectiveness of neuroprotective medicines in preventing or treating vision loss in DM has not yet been established in humans, despite encouraging preclinical data.…”

“…Keeping in mind the uniformity of the vascular system physiologically and pathophysiologically, and that it plays a key role in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), endothelial dysfunction should be treated [5,6]. Age-related macular degeneration is a progressive late onset disease affecting central vision, representing the leading cause of irreversible blindness among older adults, affecting one in three people aged 75 or older, and with the aging population the problem is increasing [7,8].…”
