The antioxidant effects of riluzole on the APRE-19 cell model injury-induced by t-BHP

Abstract Background Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) causes the dysfunction of the retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. In this study, we examined the effects of riluzole, a sustained activator of the TRAAK potassium channel, on human RPE (ARPE-19) cells in an oxidant-induced cell-injury mo...
