Eating regular food sources rich in antioxidants such as blueberries, artichokes (Helianthus tuberosus) and nuts pecans may be helpful to avoid loss of quality of vision that can lead to blindness.
As reported in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, the research indicates that antioxidants can block the process of macular degeneration or deterioration of the macula - the most sensitive part of retina. Antioxidants also play a large extend the lifetime of retinal cells and footoreseptor in the eye.
The researcher explains, macular degeneration is usually caused by a process called "destructive synergy" that occurred during the emergence of A2E accumulation of substances called that interfere with energy production in mitochondria, or power generation in the cells.
The lack of energy produced by mitochondria will interfere with the activity of maintenance and cleaning of photoreceptors and retinal cells of the eye every day. As a result, A2E will continue to accumulate and lead to damage to the visual cells that are vital and irreplaceable.
Research experts from Brigham Young University and Weill Medical College of Cornell University using the visual cells of the human eye, mice and cattle have shown that antioxidants can actually block and prevent damage caused by this process.
"The implications of this research is for those who berisko macular degeneration can be prevented by consuming antioxidants," said one researcher, Heidi Vollmer-Snarr.
