The relationship between glutathione deficiency, glycogen metabolism and ascorbate synthesis was investigated in isolated murine hepatocytes. Glutathione deficiency caused by various agents increased ascorbate synthesis with a stimulation of glycogen breakdown. Increased ascorbate synthesis from UDP-glucose or gulonolactone could not
The reviewed studies addressed the possibility of using gene transfer for correction of L-ascorbic acid biosynthesis and carbohydrate utilization in rainbow trout. Analyses of enzymatic activities in the L-AAB pathway indicated that reasons for the lack of L-AA production can
The orientation of gulonolactone oxidase activity was investigated in rat liver microsomes. Ascorbate formation upon gulonolactone addition resulted in higher intravesicular than extravesicular ascorbate concentrations in native microsomal vesicles. The intraluminal ascorbate accumulation could be prevented or the accumulated ascorbate

A convenient method to obtain unknown chiral C2- and C3-functionalized aldono-1,4-lactone derivatives starting from l-ascorbic acid, which would be valuable in the synthesis of derivatives of various pharmacologically active agents for structure-activity studies, is described. The practicality of this approach
