In May 2013, the much-anticipated results of the second largeAnimal Study Finds Nutritional Supplements Reduce Risk of Diabetic Retinopathy
Nutritional supplements.
March 2014 — Nutritional supplements containing lutein and zeaxanthin, lipoic acid, and omega-3 fatty acids are effective in preventing the development of retinopathy among diabetic rats, according to a new study.
Researchers at the Kresge Eye Institute in Detroit investigated the effect of carotenoid-containing supplements on retinal oxidative stress and inflammation and the development of diabetic retinopathy. Diabetes was induced and confirmed in all rats in the study, and then some rats were given a diet that included the nutritional supplements while others were given the same food but without the supplements. After 11 months, the retinas of the rats were evaluated for changes in blood vessels, cellular damage and other retinal changes characteristic of diabetic retinopathy.
In rats that had not received the nutritional supplements, diabetes-induced damage to retinal blood vessels was three to four times greater than among rats who had received the added nutrients.
The study authors concluded that the nutritional supplements used in this study prevented diabetic retinopathy and preserved normal retinal functioning. They also said that, though human testing is required to confirm, these supplements "could represent an achievable and inexpensive adjunct therapy" to inhibit diabetic retinopathy in people with diabetes.
A full report of the study was published online in January by Nutrition & Metabolism.-scale Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS2) sponsored by the National Eye Institute were published.
