Ascorbic acid: A useful reductant to avoid oxidation of catecholamines in electrophysiological experiments in vitro? [PDF]
The actions of the reductant ascorbic acid on rat neocortical neurons in vitro was investigated by means of intracellular recordings. At a concentration (500 μM), which reduced the magnitude of dopamine degradation in oxygen-saturated saline solutions by

Treatment of irradiated mice with high-dose ascorbic acid reduced lethality.
Ascorbic acid is an effective antioxidant and free radical scavenger. Therefore, it is expected that ascorbic acid should act as a radioprotectant. We investigated the effects of post-radiation treatment with ascorbic acid on mouse survival.

Effects of Ascorbic Acid Deficiencies on Larvae of \u3ci\u3eLymantria Dispar\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) [PDF]
We assessed the effects of ascorbic acid and total vitamin deficiencies on growth, food processing efficiencies and survival of larval gypsy moths. Artificial diet lacking ascorbic acid did not alter performance of fourth instars, whereas diet lacking a ...
