To allow comparison of a mixed sample (RPE-capped drusen) with RPE alone, RPE in druse-free areas were also collected from the same eyes.
DPOFA seems to stimulate transport of water across the RPE in bovine RPE-choroid explants.
Our data is consistent with the fact that DPOFA stimulates fluid absorption across the RPE in bovine RPE-choroid explants.
The volume occupied by drusen and RPE in pellets of RPE-capped drusen was estimated from the area fraction of these components in tissue cryosections [27], [28], [35].
These studies suggest RPE in the elderly are more susceptible to oxidative stress induced damage, which may contribute to age-related RPE dysfunction and vision loss.
However, there have been no investigations of the correlates of RPE in those with CLD.
Oliveira et al. [24] compare the performance of the DPE with the RPE in several aspects.
Their results show that the DPE outperforms RPE in many cases.
It is important to understand RPE in different patient populations to ensure appropriate prescriptions and maximize the likelihood of adherence.
To study the clinical characteristics of microrips of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV).
RPE in NoHelmet solely belonged to the same group as FullPPE, which represents how exhausted the subjects were.
