Proanthocyanidins(PACs) are the most abundant polyphenols in human diets. Many studies have showed that PACs exhibit a wide range of effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidative stress, anti-arthritic, anti-cancer and regulation of glycometabolism and lipid metabolism. Considering their anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties, PACs are expected to play a significant role in preventing retinal degeneration. In our study, sea [...]
