Publisher Summary This chapter discusses selected methods for the determination of ascorbic acid in animal cells, tissues, and fluids. Methods for determining ascorbic acid are numerous. In general, chemical analyses for the vitamin are divided into two groups; the determination of the reduced form and the determination of the oxidized form. The former group of analyses is usually based upon the oxidation–reduction properties of ascorbic acid. These are widely used as the fundamental reactions in the measurement of vitamin C. The latter group of analyses is usually based upon the oxidation of the ascorbic acid and the subsequent formation of a hydrazone or a fluorophore. Best results are obtained if samples, especially plasma, are quickly stabilized with either trichloroacetic acid or metaphosphoric acid and immediately analyzed. Prompt stabilization is especially important in the case of plasma or serum. The greater stability of ascorbic acid in acid solution is because of the decreased tendency for the hydrolysis of the lactone ring with decreasing pH.read more

Dietary fenugreek and onion attenuate cholesterol gallstone formation in lithogenic diet-fed mice.
TL;DR: The antilithogenic influence was highest with fenugreek alone, and the presence of onion along with it did not further increase this effect, and there was also no additive effect of the two spices in the recovery of antioxidant molecules or in the antioxidant enzyme activities.

Antioxidant defence of colostrum and milk in consecutive lactations in sows
TL;DR: Dynamic changes in the values of antioxidant parameters measured during the study showed that sows milk provides the highest concentration of antioxidants in the 2nd and 3rd and 4th and 5th lactation giving the best defence against reactive oxygen species to newborns and mammary glands.

Distribution of ascorbic acid, metabolites and analogues in man and animals.
TL;DR: The availability of labeled AA, metabolites, and analogues has made it possible to follow up the appearance of these compounds or mctabolites thereof in various tissues of animals by means of dissecting the animals with subsequent determination of the radioactive material accumulated by the tissues or by Means of whole-body autoradiography.

A rapid micromethod for the determination of ascorbic acid in plasma and tissues.
TL;DR: A rapid simple micromethod for the determination of l -ascorbic acid in plasma and other biological tissues using orthophosphoric acid and ferric iron is presented and can be used to accurately determine 0.1 μg of the vitamin in samples of plasma andOther biological tissues.
