DoctorYourself.com - AIDS and Vitamin C Measurements of ascorbate in urine, saliva, or serum indicate that if sufficient doses of ascorbate are not given when a patient is ill, the body level of vitamin C drops rapidly. When ascorbate is destroyed in the process of destroying free radicals, the vitamin C stores, particularly in the cells directly involved in the disease process, are so depleted as to cause disorders of known housekeeping functions of vitamin C. It is certain that AIDS causes this depletion. Ascorbate may or may not block these sensitivities significantly; however, ascorbate may decrease the intensity and duration of the reaction in such a way as to make clinical discovery of the offending substance easier. www.doctoryourself.com /aids_cathcart.html   (4722 words)

CALCIUM ASCORBATE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17) Vitamin C (calcium ascorbate) is required for the production of collagen, a protein necessary for the formation of connective tissue in muscles, skin, bones, and cartilage. Vitamin C (calcium ascorbate) aids in the metabolism of the amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine by preventing the formation of potentially carcinogenic nitrosamines in the stomach. Vitamin C (calcium ascorbate) is essential in the formation of adrenaline and is absorbed in the mucous membranes of the mouth, stomach, and upper part of the small intestine. vitazanpro.com /id73.html   (277 words)

Cardiovascular Disease As  A Form of Chronic Vitamin C Deficiency In particular, ascorbate is known to stimulate 7-a-hydroxylase, a key enzyme in the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids and to increase the expression of LDL receptors on the cell surface. During spring and summer seasons the ascorbate content in the diet increased significantly and mechanisms were favored that decreased the vascular deposits under the protection of increased ascorbate concentration in the vascular tissue. Ascorbate deficiency unmasks the underlying genetic disease, aggravates the imbalance between glucose and ascorbate, decreases vascular ascorbate concentration, and thereby triggers diabetic angiopathy. www.drlam.com /opinion/cardiovascular_disease.cfm   (4003 words)

Robert Cathcart MD at orthomed.com The dehydroascorbate formed, as ascorbate reduces free radicals and oxidizing substances, is not as toxic as the substances it reduced because the oxidizing redox potential of the dehydroascorbate is not as great as the oxidizing redox potential of the free radicals and oxidizing substances reduced. The threshold amount could be the amount of ascorbate necessary to reduce the free radicals and other oxidants present in the inflamed tissues, establish a relatively reducing redox potential in those tissues, and reduce the SS bonds of the antigen binding ends of the antibodies. Ascorbate would lessen the area of secondary inflammation and thereby reduce the amount of antigen presented to the B cells and therefore reduce the amount of antibodies formed. www.orthomed.com /unprimed.htm   (6504 words)

British Journal of Pharmacology - Differential effects of ascorbate on endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17) The possibility that concentration of ascorbate by the ciliary body was a prerequisite for blockade to occur was ruled out, since EDHF was still blocked when the anterior and posterior chambers were continuously flushed with Krebs solution or when both the aqueous and vitreous humour were drained. M ascorbate into the ciliary vascular bed was required, it is possible that the blockade of EDHF arose as a result of the ability of the eye to concentrate this antioxidant. Ascorbate at this concentration failed, however, to block EDHF in the bovine coronary artery, demonstrating that the antioxidant is not a universal inhibitor of EDHF. www.nature.com /bjp/journal/v138/n6/full/0705143a.html   (5510 words)

Doctoryourself.com - Titration Ascorbate excreted in the urine drops markedly with stresses of any magnitude unless vitamin C is provided in large amounts. The possibility that ascorbate might have some value in controlling the immune response at the gene level should be thoroughly investigated because there could be some basic implications in histocompatibility (graft acceptance), cancer control, and destruction of foreign invaders. Ascorbate should be used in cancer patients to avert disorders of ascorbate deficiency in various systems of the body including the immune system. www.doctoryourself.com /titration.html   (6580 words)

[Frontiers in Bioscience 3, d1-10, January 1, 1998] Further, DHA-induced ferricyanide reduction is saturable with regard to the extracellular DHA concentration, and parallels the intracellular ascorbate content of the cells (42, 45). Similar estimates of ascorbate recycling capacity were determined from more recent studies in which initial rates of DHA reduction to ascorbate were measured directly in erythrocytes (16). The ascorbate recycling capacity of erythrocytes provides ascorbate to supplement the already substantial antioxidant defenses of the cells (42), and to serve as a source of ascorbate for export into plasma, as discussed in the next section. www.bioscience.org /1998/v3/d/may/5.htm   (989 words)

Vitamin C, K6 Therefore, the levels of extracellular ascorbate should be highest during times of motor activity: this is a time when the cells are most likely producing increased levels of free radicals themselves and may need extra protection from glutamate toxicity. The two groups that were not treated (one of the HD mice, the other, normal mice) got injections of a placebo to control for any effects that the actual injections and handling may have had on the mice. The researchers found that HD mice treated with ascorbate performed the repetitive grooming movement less often and had increased flexibility in the maze than did untreated HD mice, suggesting that ascorbate treatment is beneficial to these mice (specifically, by acting as an antioxidant in the striatum). www.stanford.edu /group/hopes/treatmts/antiox/k6.html   (1975 words)

Magnesium Ascorbate: Vitamin C and Magnesium supplement In Magnesium Ascorbate, the acidic Vitamin C is neutralized by the accompanying magnesium, and becomes less irritating to the stomach.

Ascorbate Depletion: A Critical Step in Nickel Carcinogenesis?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17) The role of ascorbate as an antioxidant molecule has been appreciated for years, but only recently ascorbate was found to play a crucial role in hydroxylation reactions that determine interactions and functioning of thousands of cellular proteins. Numerous data indicate that ascorbate deficiency may be an underlying factor in the pathophysiology of asthma and acute respiratory distress syndrome (Kelly 1998; Kongerud et al. Because collagen assembly greatly depends on ascorbate, the decrease in the ascorbate level during spontaneous or carcinogen-induced tumor progression could be a key factor in the ECM disorganization (Preist 1970). ehp.niehs.nih.gov /members/2005/7605/7605.html   (8171 words)

(WO 01/82955) DEPLETION METHOD OF BLOOD PLASMA ASCORBATE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17) When mice were given exogenous ascorbate or its physiological precursor, L-gulono-γ-lactone, the plasma level of ascorbate was elevated substantially but immediately returned to the basal levels. However, the circulation life of the exogenous ascorbate oxidase in the animal was successfully extended by chemical modification with methoxypolyethylene glycol. This study suggests that the chemically modified ascorbate oxidase should find many uses in the animal studies on ascorbate since it was found to deplete plasma ascorbate even in the ascorbate-synthesizing animal in the absence of dietary control. www.wipo.int /ipdl/IPDL-CIMAGES/view/pct/getbykey5?KEY=01/82955.011108   (271 words)

Vitamin C for IV Use It turns out that sodium ascorbate is soluble to almost exactly a 50% concentration at room temperature. I presume that this is good because sodium ascorbate is clear and dehydroascorbate is yellow.
