Ascorbic Acid Distribution in Normal Guinea Pigs

Ascorbic Aero Distribution in Normal Guinea Pigs (Given Ascorbic Acid or Cabbage) 

Hydrocortisone slightly diminishes the diffusion of ascorbic add from 

There must also be a second mechanism of ascorbic acid transport through certain specialized cells, difierent from the diffusion of dehydro-ascorbic acid followed by intracellular reduction. There are no indications that dehydroascorbic acid is involved in the renal tubular absorption of ascorbic acid, and, contrary to earlier conclusions, it appears that the concentration of ascorbic acid into the aqueous humors of the eye occurs in the form of ascorbic acid itself. 

The plasma level of ascorbic acid appears to be one of the lowest concentrations existing in the body. It is effectively buffered by extremely high concentrations of ascorbic acid maintained intracellularly by some 

The effects of age and development on the distribution of ascorbic acid in animals is not striking. During pregnancy and during the rapid
