In previously studied genetic backgrounds, homozygosity for D2 alleles of both isa and ipd results in iris atrophy that severely affects both the iris stroma and iris pigment epithelium, leading to a severely atrophic and largely transparent iris in old mice [ 11, 12].
Since we were dealing with photography, not photometry, the choice of multiplicative or additive correction attempted to preserve semi-quantitative relationships of reflectance rather than absolute levels or precise numerical relationships [ 31 ] . Further, since reflectance variability was at issue, rather than absolute levels, we considered only the most variable components: the macular luteal pigment, dealt with above, the nerve fiber layer [ 32 33 34 35 ] , and the RPE melanin [ 36 ] . The RPE melanin is denser in the fovea, and as such will reduce the reflectance of underlying drusen in much the same manner as the luteal pigment.
The messy, vicious slathers of pigment, the turbulence and turmoil ...
For example, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) generates a number of reactive oxygen species when illuminated with light [ 1 ] . Furthermore, phagocytosis of photoreceptor outer segments by RPE causes an increase in intracellular [ 2 ] and extracellular H 2 O 2 generation [ 3 ] . Oxidative stress has been suggested as the cause of a number of retinal pathological conditions [ 4 5 ] .
A major factor in these centrally darker patterns is absorbance by luteal pigment.
