Abstract

Summary of the research findings

Objective: Abnormal changes in metabolite levels in serum or plasma have been highlighted in several studies in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of irreversible vision loss. Specific changes in lipid profiles are associated with an increased risk of AMD. Metabolites could thus be used to investigate AMD disease mechanisms or incorporated into AMD risk prediction models. However, whether particular metabolites causally affect the disease has yet to be established.
