[A clinical experimental study on the therapeutically effective component of retinal phosphatides (author's transl)].

In the present study it was demonstrated that neither the relation of the single phosphatide components nor the organ which serves as the source of the phosphatides have any importance on the therapeutic effect on the retina. The therapeutic effect of the phosphatide depends on their content of C 22:6. The phosphatide complex from livers of pigs, feeded with fish, has a particularly high content C 22:6. Its therapeutic effect and its production offers great technical and economical advantages.
