vigabatrin and Retinitis Pigmentosa

vigabatrin has been researched along with Retinitis Pigmentosa in 2 studies

Retinitis Pigmentosa: Hereditary, progressive degeneration of the retina due to death of ROD PHOTORECEPTORS initially and subsequent death of CONE PHOTORECEPTORS. It is characterized by deposition of pigment in the retina.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Four subjects with advanced visual field loss of various origin (retinitis pigmentosa, vigabatrin-associated visual field defect, glaucomatous nerve fibre layer defect, and postgeniculate visual pathway defect) participated in this study."3.71[Evaluation of extensive visual field defects with computer-assisted kinetic perimetry]. ( Besch, D; Dietrich, TJ; Paetzold, J; Schiefer, U; Schiller, J; Vonthein, R, 2001)
" Similarly, we showed that RGC degeneration can be induced by pharmacologically blocking the taurine-transporter with the chronic administration of a selective inhibitor, which results in a decrease in the taurine levels both in the plasma and in the retinal tissue."1.39Taurine is a crucial factor to preserve retinal ganglion cell survival.
