The last step of the biosynthesis of L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in plants and animals is catalyzed by L-gulono-1,4-lactone oxidoreductases, which use both L-gulono-1,4-lactone and L-galactono-1,4-lactone as substrates. L-gulono-1,4-lactone oxidase is missing in scurvy-prone, vitamin C-deficient animals, such as humans

The L-ascorbate (AsA) content and the expression of six L-galactose pathway-related genes were analyzed in peach flesh during fruit development. Fluctuation of AsA during peach fruit development was divided into four phases based on the overall total AsA (T-AsA) content

An efficient method for the synthesis of L-glucose from D-gulono-1,4-lactone via 1,2,3,4,5-penta-O-benzyl/acetyl/benzoyl-D-gulitol is described in 34-53% overall yield.

Stereoselective synthesis of novel 1'-alpha-substituted-4'-thionucleosides was achieved starting from D-gulonic acid gamma-lactone via stereoselective nucleophilic substitution.

Ascorbate synthesis causes glutathione consumption in the liver. Addition of gulonolactone resulted in an increase of ascorbate production in isolated murine hepatocytes. At the same time, a decrease in reduced glutathione (GSH) level was observed. In hepatic microsomal membranes, ascorbate
