Zeaxanthin and Lutein in the Management of Eye Diseases [PDF]

Journal of Ophthalmology, 2016
Zeaxanthin and lutein, two carotenoid pigments of the xanthophyll subclass, are present in a high concentration in the retina, especially in the macula. They work as a filter protecting the macula from the blue light and also as structurally bound antioxidants which protect surrounding ocular cells against oxidative stress.

Ocular Manifestations of Metabolic Syndrome: A Systemic Vascular Phenotype

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Context Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is defined by central obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension and dyslipidemia. MetS affects over one‐third of US adults. Beyond its cardiovascular burden, MetS has clinically relevant associations with ocular health and may contribute to a systemic vascular and neuro‐metabolic phenotype involving the retina,

Mortality in Salmon (Salmo salar) Fry Related to Lipoid Liver Disease Induced by Unbalanced Fatty Acid Composition of the Diet

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2023, all but one Swedish restocking farm rearing Baltic salmon and sea trout fry experienced massive mortality caused by lipoid liver disease (LLD). The struck farms used the same feed, and this was suspected to be the cause of the outbreak.
