The book focuses on the nature of the macular carotenoids, their transport and accumulation within the retina, and their influence on the etiology of retinal diseases. It also includes chapters that provide readers an understanding of the epidemiology and pathology of these diseases and the known factors which contribute to them"--Provided by publisher  aAlso available in print format  aRetinal degeneration  aCarotenoids  aDiseasesxRisk factors  aElectronic books.2lcs  aLandrum, John Thomas,eeditor  aNolan, Johnq(John M.),eeditor  iPrint version:z9781466502048 (hardback : alk. paper  uhttp://marc.crcnetbase.com/isbn/9781466502055qapplication/PDFzDistributed by publisher.
