摘要
The purpose of our study was to investigate for the first time a series of vitamin supplements used for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) as potential inhibitors of platelet-activating factor (PAF).Various vitamin supplements were tested in washed rabbit platelets (WRPs), in order to investigate the interaction between vitamin supplements (InShape, Nutrof, Ocuvite, Vitalux) and inhibition of PAF-induced platelet aggregation. Additionally, we examined their ability to affect PAF-metabolism, through their in vitro effect on PAF basic metabolic enzymes (PAF-CPT, lyso PAF-AT, and PAF-AH).Nutrof exhibited the strongest anti-PAF activity, while Vitalux was the most potent anti-inflammatory factor.This is the first study to bring in surface potent anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic activities of some vitamin supplements used against AMD, through their in vitro anti-PAF effects in WRPs and the rabbit plasma and leukocyte PAF metabolism, suggesting a promising role of vitamin supplements and especially resveratrol, concerning its potent anti-angiogenic activity in AMD.
