Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells occupy the outer layer of the retina and perform various biological functions. Oxidative damage to RPE cells is a major risk factor for retinal degeneration that ultimately leads to vision loss. In this study, we investigated the role of spermidine in a hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>)-induced oxidative stress model using human RPE cells. Our findings showed that 300 μM H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> increased cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and cell cyc ...[more]
