Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and some major functions of vitamin C in animals.
TL;DR: Using the in vitro method, the ascorbic acid synthesizing abilities of different species of animals in the phylogenetic tree are examined, and the results are given below.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assay of superoxide dismutase activity in animal tissues
TL;DR: Using the modified pyrogallol autoxidation method, data have been obtained for superoxide dismutase activity in different tissues of rat and the effect of age, including neonatal and postnatal development on the activity, as well as activity in normal and cancerous human tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin C prevents cigarette smoke-induced oxidative damage in vivo.
TL;DR: This article showed that exposure of subclinical or marginal vitamin C-deficient guinea pigs to cigarette smoke causes oxidation of plasma proteins as well as extensive oxidative degradation of the lung microsomal proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin C prevents cigarette smoke induced oxidative damage of proteins and increased proteolysis

TL;DR: Ascorbate (100 microM) almost completely prevents cigarette smoke-induced protein oxidation and thereby protects the microsomes from subsequent proteolytic degradation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scavenging of superoxide radical by ascorbic acid
TL;DR: Taking together both the rate constants and the tissue concentrations, the efficacy of ascorbic acid for scavenging superoxide radical in animal tissues appears to be better than that of suPeroxide dismutase.
