Ascorbic acid enhances the inhibitory effect of aspirin on neuronal cyclooxygenase-2-mediated prostaglandin E2 production. [PDF]
Inhibition of neuronal cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and hence prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs has been suggested to protect neuronal cells in a variety of pathophysiological situations including Alzheimer's disease ...

Allosteric modulation of retinal GABA receptors by ascorbic acid [PDF]
Ionotropic GABA receptors (GABAA and GABAC) belong to the Cys-loop receptor family of ligand-gated ion channels. GABAC receptors are highly expressed in the retina, mainly localized at the axon terminals of bipolar cells.

Encapsulation of ascorbic acid promotes the reduction of Maillard reaction products in UHT milk [PDF]
The presence of amino groups and carbonyls renders fortified milk with ascorbic acid particularly susceptible to the reduction of available lysine and to the formation of Maillard reaction products (MRPs), as Nε-(Carboxyethyl)-L-lysine (CEL), Nε ...

Trolox and ascorbic acid reduce direct and indirect oxidative stress in the IPEC-J2 cells, an in vitro model for the porcine gastrointestinal tract [PDF]
Oxidative stress in the small intestinal epithelium is a major cause of barrier malfunction and failure to regenerate. This study presents a functional in vitro model using the porcine small intestinal epithelial cell line IPEC-J2 to examine the effects ...

Ascorbic acid and copper in linoleate oxidation. II. Ascorbic acid and copper as oxidation catalysts
Both ascorbic acid and copper were strong prooxidants in the oxidation of linoleate in a buffered (pH 7.0) aqueous dispersion at 37°C. Minimum concentrations at which catalytic activity was detected were 1.3 × 10-7m for copper and 1.8 × 10-6m for ...
