Ascorbic acid concentration of human fetal tissues in relation to fetal size and gestational age.

TL;DR: In all the tissues, there was a fall in ascorbic acid during late gestation, however, the levels in tissues of stillborn babies were higher than those reported for adults, suggesting the importance of this vitamin in brain development.

Moderate alcohol consumption and vitamin C status in the guinea-pig and the rat.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the need of vitamin C during chronic consumption of moderate alcohol doses is enhanced, due to the participation of ascorbate in oxidoreducing processes connected with ethanol metabolism which leads to its irreversible destruction.

Correlation of blood pressure with plasma ascorbic acid

TL;DR: In a nutrition survey of 247 Chinese Americans aged 60–96, the mean plasma ascorbic acid was found to be lower than that of white Americans, andverse associations were observed between plasma as Corinthian acid and systolic blood pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impairment of ascorbic acid synthesis in liver extracts of magnesium-deficient rats.

TL;DR: It is suggested that Mg-deficient rats have a reduced capacity to synthesize ascorbate which in turn produces a decrease in asCorbic acid concentrations in the liver.
