黄酮类化合物护眼功能的研究进展OA

Flavonoids are a class of natural products that include flavonoids,flavanones,and flavonols,which are found widely in nature and have a diverse range of important physiological activities,including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.In recent years,an increasing number of studies have revealed the ameliorative effects of flavonoids on different ocular diseases,including ocular surface diseases,glaucoma,age-related macular degeneration,and diabetic retinopathy.In this paper,the recent progress in basic research on flavonoids interventions for ocular diseases is summarized,which have indicated that flavonoids may have a certain eye-protective effects,for which the main mechanisms of action have been identified as the antioxidant defense,modulation of anti-inflammatory and immune responses,and regulation of cell apoptosis.This review provides a theoretical basis for elucidating the mechanisms underlying the eye-protective effects of flavonoids,as well as a scientific basis for further research and development on flavonoids,and also indicates the potential direction of future research.
