At preterm birth, the retina is incompletely vascularized. Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is
initiated by the postnatal suppression of physiological retinal vascular development that …

When the eyes are exposed to the environment, they are easily affected by strong light
stimulation and harmful substances. At the same time, prolonged use of the eyes or incorrect …

Abstract Background &Aim: Arachidonic acid (ARA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are
important structural components of neural cellular membranes and possess anti …

Hyperglycemia in early postnatal life of preterm infants with incompletely vascularized
retinas is associated with increased risk of potentially blinding neovascular retinopathy of …

The biorefinery approach ensures a sustainable source of valuable fatty acids and opens up
new avenues for their application in healthcare industries. Recent studies highlight the …

The published literature supports a DHA intake in preterm infants that is closer to the fetal
accumulation rate than the average breast milk content. Supplementation with DHA at this …

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) affect several physiological processes, including visual
acuity, but their relationship with diabetic retinopathy (DR) remains elusive. The aim of this …

Nutritional deprivation occurring in most preterm infants postnatally can induce
hyperglycemia, a significant and independent risk factor for suppressing physiological …

Severe ROP is characterized by the development of retinal fibrovascular proliferation that
may progress to retinal detachment. The purpose of this report is to review five of the most …

Amacrine cells (ACs) are the most structurally and functionally diverse neuron type in the
retina. Different ACs have distinct functions, such as neuropeptide secretion and inhibitory …
