melatonin and Retinal Degeneration

melatonin has been researched along with Retinal Degeneration in 29 studies

Retinal Degeneration: A retrogressive pathological change in the retina, focal or generalized, caused by genetic defects, inflammation, trauma, vascular disease, or aging. Degeneration affecting predominantly the macula lutea of the retina is MACULAR DEGENERATION. (Newell, Ophthalmology: Principles and Concepts, 7th ed, p304)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To evaluate the potential of a poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-based slow release formulation of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) alone or in combination with melatonin to rescue photoreceptors in a mouse model of retinal degeneration."3.88Photoreceptor preservation induced by intravitreal controlled delivery of GDNF and GDNF/melatonin in rhodopsin knockout mice.

( Hawlina, M; Ikeda, H; Jenkins, HG, 1992)

"Luzindole-treated eyes had ERG b-wave thresholds of 2."1.30The melatonin antagonist luzindole protects retinal photoreceptors from light damage in the rat. ( Bush, RA; Iuvone, PM; Sieving, PA; Sugawara, T, 1998)
