Ascorbic acid and copper in linoleate oxidation. II. Ascorbic acid and copper as oxidation catalysts
Journal of Lipid Research, 1969 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 ...

Treatment of irradiated mice with high-dose ascorbic acid reduced lethality.
PLoS ONE, 2015 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.

Exogenous ascorbic acid scarcely ameliorates inhibition of photosynthesis in rice leaves by O3
Plant Production Science, 2017 The role of ascorbic acid on acute O3-induced inhibition of photosynthesis in solution-cultured paddy rice was evaluated. As pre-treatment, ascorbic acid (0, 5, and 10 mM) was added to the culture solution for 5 d before 5 h of O3 exposure (0, .1, and .3
