Changes in Blood Antioxidants and Several Lipid Peroxidation Products in Women with Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Abstract

The significantly higher concentration of lipid peroxidation products in patients with AMD indicates an important pathogenic role of oxido-reduction disturbance. The high FRAP concentration may be one of the protective mechanisms in oxidation stress. The adaptive increase of the antioxidant barrier mostly involves the enzymatic components.
