"Antioxidant, Mitoprotective Duo Reverse Mitochondrial Dysfunction" - Vanessa Carceres and Robert Ritch, MD
A supplement with antioxidant and mitoprotective properties reversed mitochondrial dysfunction and may be neuroprotective in glaucoma, according to study results presented by Robert Ritch, MD, Steven and Shelley Einhorn Distinguished Chair of ophthalmology and chief of glaucoma services at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai. Dr. Ritch and co-investigators presented a poster with their findings at the American Glaucoma Society meeting in New York. The study focused on whether a combination of over-the-counter supplements with antioxidant and mitoprotective properties could reverse mitochondrial dysfunction by reducing mitochondrial flavoprotein fluorescence compared with placebo.
