Saffron Linked to Vision Protection
The study led by Professor Silvia Bisti of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Vision Science at L'Aquila University in Italy, said saffron has major antioxidant properties. These properties make vision cells tougher and more resilient by regulating the action of genes, which control the level of fatty acids in cell membranes.
The researchers had earlier tested saffron in mice with successful results and have now tried the therapy on human subjects suffering from AMD. They report that saffron therapy successfully restored lost vision in these patients.
Prof Silvia Bisti said their next step is to identify theactive ingredients in saffron, which possess these vision saving properties.
