Main Article Content
Abstract
Oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathogenesis of many diseases associated with aging, including atherosclerosis, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, and retinal diseases. The retina is a tissue that is particularly susceptible to the adverse effects of oxidative stress, as it is characterized by high metabolic rate and high oxygen consumption compared to other body tissues. This review article discusses the relationship between the cellular mechanisms of impaired prooxidant-antioxidant homeostasis and the development of age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Natural defense mechanisms of maintaining redox homeostasis and therapeutic strategies based on the use of antioxidants are also described.
