Distribution of RPE/choroid A2E levels in relation to overlying retinal carotenoid levels in 8-mm macular punches (A) and 8-mm peripheral retina punches (B). There was a statistically significant inverse correlation between carotenoids in the peripheral retina and A2E levels in the underlying RPE-choroid (R= −0.36, N=40, P=0.02); however, this inverse relationship was not statistically significant between macular carotenoids and macular A2E (R= −0.28; N= 35; P= 0.10).
