  • Title: Lipofuscin, the age pigment.
    Author: Wolf G.
    Journal: Nutr Rev; 1993 Jul; 51(7):205-6. PubMed ID: 8414224.
    Abstract:
    Lipofuscin is the fluorescent mixture of compounds that accumulates increasingly with age in human tissues, including the pigment epithelium of the retina. A substantial component of lipofuscin has been identified in the retina as N-retinylidene-N-retinylethanolamine. This compound presumably is derived from the reaction of retinaldehyde with the membrane lipid phosphatidylethanolamine.
