Intravitreal homocysteine-thiolactone injection leads to the degeneration of multiple retinal cells, including photoreceptors

PURPOSE: Hyperhomocysteinemia is known to cause degeneration of retinal ganglion cells, but its influence on photoreceptors remains largely unknown. In particular, the role of homocysteine-thiolactone (Hcy-T)—the physiologic metabolite of homocysteine that has been proven to be more cytotoxic than h...
