Botanical Compounds: Effects on Major Eye Diseases

Figure 1

Oxidative stress pathway and botanicals. A schematic representation of cellular oxidative stress pathway and the effects of the botanical compounds discussed in this review that prevent the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and protect the cell from apoptosis. Saffron particularly affects the JNK pathway and the production of caspase-3 from ceramide, which also lead to apoptosis.
