Plasma levels of vitamin C components in normal and diabetic subjects.

TL;DR: No evidence that diabetic patients have higher plasma dehydroascorbic acid levels than nondiabetics is found, and some possible reasons are considered for the discrepancy between this finding and those of earlier reports.

Enzymatic Studies on the Metabolism of Uronic and Aldonic Acids Related to L-Ascorbic Acid in Animal Tissues

TL;DR: The chief object of this paper is to study the enzymatic reactions concerning the metabolism of D-glucuronic and L-gulonic acids and their lactones, as well as of 2,3-diketo-~- gulonic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nutrition and premature labor.

TL;DR: This study offers no support to the theory that nutritional deficiency is a common cause of premature labor, as dietary histories and blood biochemical determinations in the early puerperium failed to reveal any significant differences between the premature parturients and their full-term controls.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determination of human plasma and leukocyte ascorbic acid by microtiter plate assay

TL;DR: A microtiter plate assay (MPA) is developed to measure the AA dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) derivative in plasma or leukocytes and its advantages are that it can handle small sample volumes and multiple samples simultaneously.

The Biosynthesis of Ascorbic Acid

TL;DR: The knowledge of the biological mechanism of the synthesis of L-ascorbic acid, whether in plants or animals, although far from complete, has increased to such an extent that it seemed more useful to discuss the work in this field, and to examine the effect of other factors in the light of this information in this chapter.
