OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the safety profile of solutions containing lutein and zeaxanthin alone or associated with brilliant blue (BB).
METHODS
Twenty-eight New Zealand rabbits were used to evaluate 4 concentrations of the various dye solutions: 0.5% lutein/zeaxanthin; 0.5% lutein/zeaxanthin associated
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether a natural dye solution based on lutein and zeaxanthin alone or combined with Brilliant Blue stains and facilitates peeling of intraocular membranes in human eyes.
METHODS
In this study of 60 cadaveric eyes, open-sky vitrectomy including posterior hyaloid detachment was
1. Trade-offs between growth and immunity of nestling birds can be influenced by parasites, but the magnitude of these effects may depend on availability of critical dietary nutrients. Owing to their importance for both immune system function and growth, dietary carotenoids have the potential to
A crystal structure of the lutein-binding domain of human StARD3 (StAR-related lipid-transfer protein 3; also known as MLN64) has been refined to 1.74 Å resolution. A previous structure of the same protein determined to 2.2 Å resolution highlighted homology with StARD1 and shared cholesterol-binding
OBJECTIVE
This analysis was conducted to evaluate the association between plasma beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, lycopene, lutein/zeaxanthin, total carotenoids, retinol, alpha-tocopherol and subsequent mortality.
METHODS
Blood samples collected longitudinally from 259 participants in a
BACKGROUND
Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the seventh most-common type of cancer worldwide. Evidence regarding the potential protective effect of vitamins and carotenoids on HNC is limited and mostly based on case-control studies.
OBJECTIVE
We evaluated the association of intake of dietary vitamins C
A new dye for vitreoretinal surgery comprised of soluble lutein/zeaxanthin 1 % and brilliant blue 0.025 % is advantageous compared with other dyes currently used for chromovitrectomy, and showed no signs of toxicity at 1 month of follow-up.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the feasibility and safety of a dye
High doses of beta-carotene, a lipid-soluble nutrient, may affect the plasma concentrations of other lipid-soluble nutrients. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of long-term daily supplementation with beta-carotene (50 mg/d) on circulating concentrations of other carotenoids,
Macular telangiectasia type 2 is a bilateral disease of unknown cause with characteristic alterations of the macular capillary network and neurosensory atrophy. Its prevalence may be underestimated and has recently been shown to be as high as 0.1% in persons 40 years and older. Biomicroscopy may
