Study of the Macular Pigment by the Consumption of Corn With Strong Content in Zeaxanthine

Sponsor: University Hospital, Bordeaux

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The Age Macular Degeneration (AMD) is the first cause of blindness in industrialized countries. The macular pigment (lutein and zeaxanthin) could play an important role in the arisen of the AMD. The food supplementation by corn with strong concentration in macular pigment could increase the density of the macular pigment. This could, in the future, represent a strategy of prevention of the AMD. The main objective of this study is to detect an increase of the macular pigment density after the consumption of this corn at healthy volunteers.
