Detoxification, redox potentials

Physiological Function. The mechanism by which L-ascorbic acid benefits an insect is unknown. The vitamin is found in many tissues where it probably plays a variety of roles related to its redox potential. Besides the possible general function of detoxifying superoxide and hydrogen peroxide, L-ascorbic acid may be involved in metabolic processes such as tyrosine metabolism, collagen formation, steroid synthesis, detoxification reactions, phagostimulation, or neuromodulation. At this time one can only speculate about the function of vitamin C in some specific tissues. [Pg.284]

The physiological role of cytochromes c is unknown. Since they are found in a wide variety of bacteria with different metabolic pathways, roles in photosynthetic electron transfer, nitrogen assimilation,and NO detoxification have been proposed. These class II cyts c have redox potentials varying from —10 mV to +150 mV (Table ij s,27i,273... [Pg.41]
