Evolution of substrate specificity in the Nucleobase-Ascorbate Transporter (NAT) protein family [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is an essential metabolite in animals and plants due to its role as an enzyme co-factor and antioxidant activity. In most eukaryotic organisms, L-ascorbate is biosynthesized enzymatically, but in several major groups ...

Ascorbate-glutathione cycle and thioredoxin system are involved in nitric oxide alleviating excess nitrate stress in tomato seedlings

open access: yes, 2023
Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role in plant growth, development, and stress responses. The exogenous NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) increased the plant height, root length, and biomass of tomato seedlings under nitrate stress, especially 100 ...

Ascorbate-and iron-driven redox activity of Dp44mT and emodin facilitates peroxidation of micelles and bicelles

open access: yes, 2021
BACKGROUND: Iron (Fe)-induced oxidative stress leads to reactive oxygen species that damage biomembranes, with this mechanism being involved in the activity of some anti-cancer chemotherapeutics. METHODS: Herein, we compared the effect of Fe complexes of

Comparative Analysis of Antioxidant Accumulation under Cold Acclimation, Deacclimation and Reacclimation in Winter Wheat

open access: yesPlants, 2022
Low temperature during cold acclimation (CA) leads to the accumulation of detrimental reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plant tissues, which are scavenged by antioxidants, such as ascorbate and glutathione.

Reduced Plasma Ascorbate and Increased Proportion of Dehydroascorbic Acid Levels in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis

open access: yesLife, 2021
Ascorbate functions as an electron donor and scavenges free radicals. Dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), the oxidized form of ascorbate, is generated as a result of these reactions.

Stability of ascorbate in urine: relevance to analyses for ascorbate and oxalate.

open access: yesClinical Chemistry, 1985
Abstract Ascorbate is unstable in urine at room temperature at pH values ranging from 1 to 12. At pH 7 and above, oxalate is generated in amounts directly proportional to the ascorbate concentration. In 12 different urines, adjusted to pH 12 and incubated for 20 h at room temperature, there was a significant correlation between the ...

Metabolomic profiling identifies biomarkers and metabolic impacts of surgery for colorectal cancer

open access: yesFrontiers in Surgery, 2022
BackgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignant tumors with recurrence and metastasis after surgical resection. This study aimed to identify the physiological changes after surgery and explore metabolites and metabolic pathways with

Intravenous Vitamin C for Cancer Therapy – Identifying the Current Gaps in Our Knowledge

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
The use of intravenous vitamin C (IVC) for cancer therapy has long been an area of intense controversy. Despite this, high dose IVC has been administered for decades by complementary health care practitioners and physicians, with little evidence base ...

Pyrophosphate levels strongly influence ascorbate and starch content in tomato fruit

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Ascorbate (vitamin C) deficiency leads to low immunity, scurvy, and other human diseases and is therefore a global health problem. Given that plants are major ascorbate sources for humans, biofortification of this vitamin in our foodstuffs is of ...
