Serum adropin level in wet-type age-related macular degeneration

Our objective was to compare the serum Adropin levels between patients with wet-type Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and otherwise healthy individuals. The study included 45 patients with wet-type AMD and 45 individuals without age-related macular degeneration. Patients with co-morbidities su...

Zusammenfassung:	Our objective was to compare the serum Adropin levels between patients with wet-type Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and otherwise healthy individuals. The study included 45 patients with wet-type AMD and 45 individuals without age-related macular degeneration. Patients with co-morbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, autoimmune diseases, and a previous history of visual impairment; were excluded. FBS, Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C), lipid profile, and serum Adropin level were checked. The mean serum Adropin level of patients with wet-type AMD was significantly lower than the control group (P-value
