Pharmacokinetic and anti-cancer properties of high dose ascorbate in solid tumours of ascorbate-dependent mice [PDF]
Despite recent evidence for an anti-tumour role for high-dose ascorbate, potential mechanisms of action are still unclear. At mM concentrations that are achieved with high-dose intravenous administration, autoxidation of ascorbate can generate cytotoxic ...

Ascorbate-Deficient vtc2 Mutants in Arabidopsis Do Not Exhibit Decreased Growth [PDF]
In higher plants the L-galactose pathway represents the major route for ascorbate biosynthesis. The first committed step of this pathway is catalyzed by the enzyme GDP-L-galactose phosphorylase and is encoded by two paralogs in Arabidopsis – VITAMIN C2 ...

The ascorbate-driven reduction of extracellular ascorbate free radical by the erythrocyte is an electrogenic process [PDF]
Erythrocytes can reduce extracellular ascorbate free radicals by a plasma membrane redox system using intracellular ascorbate as an electron donor. In order to test whether the redox system has electrogenic properties, we studied the effect of ascorbate ...
