Renin–angiotensin system impairs macrophage lipid metabolism to promote age-related macular degeneration in mouse models
Nagai et al. show that mice fed high-fat diet (HFD) accumulate oxidized low-density lipoprotein in macrophages through the renin–angiotensin system, which impairs visual function. They find that angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) improves the visual function of HFD mice, suggesting AT1R signaling...
