pigmentation

abnormal retina pigment epithelium morphology ( J:255529 )

• 6 month old mice show increased autofluorescence in retinal pigment cells (RPE) indicating accumulation of lipofuscin deposits in RPE cells

• however, no photoreceptor degeneration is seen to occur over 2 months, with mice showing normal outer nuclear layer thickness

vision/eye

abnormal retina pigment epithelium morphology ( J:255529 )

• 6 month old mice show increased autofluorescence in retinal pigment cells (RPE) indicating accumulation of lipofuscin deposits in RPE cells

• however, no photoreceptor degeneration is seen to occur over 2 months, with mice showing normal outer nuclear layer thickness

abnormal eye physiology ( J:255529 )

• 6 month old mice show a 10-fold increase in bis-retinoid A2E levels in retinal pigment cells
