The retina is the neurosensorial tissue of the eye and is extremely rich in polyunsaturated lipid membranes. This feature makes it especially sensitive to oxygen and/or nitrogen activated species and lipid peroxidation. Several authors have postulated the importance of superoxide (O2-) and peroxynitrite production in the development of diabetic complications. In the present study, we have used two different antioxidants, ebselen and lutein, that present as a common feature their peroxynitrite scavenging capacity, to ameliorate the oxidative stress that exists in the retina in diabetic patients.
