Ascorbic acid deficiency and the flavin-containing monooxygenase [PDF]
Activity of the flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO) was reduced significantly in ascorbic acid deficient guinea pigs. Reduction in oxidation of dimethylaniline (DMA) and of thiobenzamide was associated with a decrease in the activity of the FMO. In both ascorbate supplemented and deficient guinea pig hepatic 12,000 g supernatant fractions, SKF-525A ...

Ascorbic acid status in iron-deficiency anaemia [PDF]
Leucocyte ascorbic acid concentration declines with age. Patients with iron-deficiency anaemia have higher concentrations than normal while those with iron overload have a reduced concentration. It is suggested that these phenomena may be a result of reduced ascorbate catabolism in iron-deficiency anaemia and they provide support for the suggestion ...
