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

Hyperoxic ventilation induces detrimental effects on the respiratory system, and ambient oxygen may be harmful unless compensated by physiological anti-oxidants, such as vitamin C. Here we investigate the changes in electrolyte transport of airway epithelium in mice exposed to normobaric

Modifications of the analytical method to determine L-gulono-gamma-lactone oxidase (EC 1.1.8) enzyme activity were conducted in pig liver by evaluating the concentration of added substrate (L-gulono-gamma-lactone), glutathione, and various tissue sample-to-buffer ratios in the incubation mixture. Sampling different liver sites
Stereoselective synthesis of novel 1'-alpha-substituted-4'-thionucleosides was achieved starting from D-gulonic acid gamma-lactone via stereoselective nucleophilic substitution.
Gulonolactone treatment of mice resulted in the elevation of hepatic ascorbate and hydrogen peroxide levels accompanied by transient liver swelling and reversible dilatation of endoplasmic reticulum cisternae. Although a decrease in glutathione (reduced form)/total glutathione ratio was observed in microsomes
