Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin C as an Antioxidant: Evaluation of Its Role in Disease Prevention

TL;DR: Dose concentration studies of vitamin C in healthy people showed a sigmoidal relationship between oral dose and plasma and tissue vitamin C concentrations, so optimal dosing is critical to intervention studies using vitamin C.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacologic ascorbic acid concentrations selectively kill cancer cells: Action as a pro-drug to deliver hydrogen peroxide to tissues

TL;DR: Human pharmacokinetics data indicate that ascorbate at concentrations achieved only by i.v. administration may be a pro-drug for formation of H(2)O(2), and that blood can be a delivery system of the pro- drug to tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of the intestinal glucose transporter GLUT2 by flavonoids

TL;DR: Flavonols show promise as new pharmacologic agents in the obesity epidemic because the flavonoid quercetin might act as a potent luminal inhibitor of sugar absorption independent of its own transport.
Journal ArticleDOI

The regulation of GLUT5 and GLUT2 activity in the adaptation of intestinal brush-border fructose transport in diabetes

TL;DR: Differences in stereospecificity between GLUT2 and GLUT5 were used to show that both transporters contributed to the overall enhancement of D-fructose transport measured in brush-border membrane vesicles and in vitro isolated loops from diabetic rats, however, overall D- fructose uptake in vivo was diminished.
