Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) stands as a leading cause of severe visual impairment and blindness among the elderly globally. As multifactorial disease, AMD's pathogenesis is influenced by genetic, environmental, age-related factors, with lipid metabolism abnormalities complement system dysregulation playing critical roles. This review delves into recent advancements in understanding intricate interaction between these two crucial pathways, highlighting their contribution to disease's progression through chronic inflammation, drusen formation, retinal pigment epithelium dysfunction. Importantly, emerging evidence points dysregulated profiles, particularly alterations high-density lipoprotein levels, oxidized deposits, intracellular lipofuscin accumulation, exacerbating factors that enhance activation subsequently amplify tissue damage AMD. Furthermore, genetic studies have revealed significant associations AMD specific genes involved transport regulation, shedding light on disease susceptibility underlying mechanisms. The further explores clinical implications findings, advocating for novel therapeutic approach integrates modulators inhibitors. By concurrently targeting dual-targeted holds promise significantly improving outcomes patients, heralding new horizon management treatment.

Aging is accompanied by an increased prevalence of degenerative conditions, including those affecting ocular health, which significantly impact quality life and increase the burden on healthcare systems. Among these, retinal aging particular concern due to its direct link vision impairment, a leading cause disability in elderly. Vision loss population associated with heightened risks cognitive decline, social isolation, morbidity. This study addresses critical gap our understanding modifiable lifestyle factors, such as physical exercise, that may mitigate related pathologies. We investigated effects different exercise regimens-voluntary (recreational-type) forced (high-intensity)-on health Wistar rats (18-month-old), serving model for studying translational potential interventions humans. Male were divided into four groups: young control (3-month-old) baseline comparison, aged sedentary control, group engaging voluntary via running wheel their cage, subjected treadmill six sessions 20 min each per week. After 6-month experimental period, we assessed function electroretinography (ERG), measured thickness histologically, analyzed protein expression changes relevant oxidative stress, inflammation, anti-aging mechanisms. Our findings reveal positively impacts morphology, reducing stress inflammation markers while enhancing expression. In contrast, showed diminished benefits. These insights underscore importance intensity preference preserving during aging. The highlights recreational activity non-invasive strategy counteract aging, advocating further research regimens preventative therapies age-related degenerations.

Cataracts, a leading cause of blindness worldwide, are closely linked to oxidative stress-induced damage lens epithelial cells (LECs). Key factors contributing cataract formation include aging, arterial hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. Given the high global prevalence cataracts, burden cataract-related visual impairment is substantial, highlighting need for pharmacological strategies supplement surgical interventions. Understanding molecular pathways involved in stress during development may offer valuable insights designing novel therapeutic approaches. This review explores role formation, focusing on critical mechanisms, such as mitochondrial dysfunction, endoplasmic reticulum stress, loss gap junctions, various cell death LECs.
