Abstract
The fluorescence lifetimes of lipofuscin fluorophores contained in chloroform extracts from retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) of human cadaver eyes without signs of pathology were evaluated by single photon counting. The comparison of fluorescence lifetimes of N-retinylidene-N-retinylethanolamine (A2E) and its photooxidation and photodegradation products has been carried out. It was shown that the contribution of A2E to the total fluorescence of chloroform extract from lipofuscin granules is not major. The results are important for the improvement of noninvasive diagnostic method of degenerative diseases of the retina and RPE-fundus autofluorescence (FAF).Entities:
