Age-related macular degeneration is a leading cause of blindness in the elderly. At a later stage, neovascular or exudative age-related macular degeneration can lead to severe central vision loss that is related to aging-associated cumulative oxidative stress of the human retinal pigment epithelium (hRPE) cells. Early prevention with antioxidants is mandatory. The aim of this study was to determine whether and how baicalein can act as an antioxidant.

pubmed:articleTitle
Baicalein significantly protects human retinal pigment epithelium cells against H?O?-induced oxidative stress by scavenging reactive oxygen species and downregulating the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 and vascular endothelial growth factor.
