Lutein Leads to a Decrease of Factor D Secretion by Cultured Mature Human Adipocytes by Yuan Tian, Aize Kijlstra, Johan Renes, Martin Wabitsch, Carroll A. B. Webers, Tos T. J. M. Berendschot

“…Lutein significantly inhibited adipocyte FD mRNA expression and FD protein release into adipocyte culture supernatants. Conclusions. Our earlier observations showing that a daily lutein supplement in individuals with early signs of AMD lowered the level of circulating FD might be caused by blocking adipocyte FD production.…”
