Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness and can be classified into two types called atrophic AMD (dry AMD) and neovascular AMD (wet AMD). Dry AMD is characterized by cellular degeneration of the retinal pigment epithelium, choriocapillaris, and The acetone-soluble parts of Garcinia subelliptica leaves were analyzed and six new biflavonoids were isolated, i.e., garciniaflavones A-F (1-6), as well as the five known biflavonoids amentoflavone (7), podocarpusflavone A (8), (+)-morelloflavone (9), (+)-morelloflavone-7"-O-β-glucopyranoside (10),

BACKGROUND
Oxidative stress in atherosclerosis produces H2O2 and triggers the activation of nuclear factor kappa beta (NF-κB) and increase of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). The formation of vasa vasorum occurs in atherosclerosis. Vasa vasorum angiogenesis is mediated by VEGFR-1 and
Retinal neovascularization is a major cause of vision loss in diseases characterized by retinal ischemia and is characterized by the pathological growth of abnormal vessels. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is known to play an important role in this process. Oxidative stress has been
