Macular drusen formation and angiogenesis are the two chief processes associated with age-related macular degeneration. Adropin and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) may be involved in these pathologies. By altering lipid metabolism, adropin may contribute in the early stages of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). VEGFR-2 may participate in the later form of AMD, by promoting angiogenesis. This study compared the circulatory levels of adropin and VEGFR-2 in AMD and patients without AMD and assessed their association with disease severity, to understand their possible role in AMD.
