Abstract
Retinal neovascularization, as occurs in age-related macular degeneration, may result from an increase in VEGFA levels due to dysregulated lipid and glucose metabolism within photoreceptors. Tissues with high metabolic rates often use lipids, as well as glucose, for energy, conferring a survival advantage during feast and famine1. Current dogma suggests that high-energy–consuming photoreceptors depend on glucose2,3. Here we show that the retina...
