Human erythrocyte recycling of ascorbic acid: relative contributions from the ascorbate free radical and dehydroascorbic acid.
Recycling of ascorbic acid from its oxidized forms helps to maintain the vitamin in human erythrocytes. To determine the relative contributions of recycling from the ascorbate radical and dehydroascorbic acid, we studied erythrocytes exposed to a trans-membrane oxidant stress from ferricyanide. Ferricyanide was used both to induce oxidant stress across the cell membrane and to quantify ascorbat...
متن کاملAscorbic acid recycling in human neutrophils.
Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) accumulation in activated human neutrophils is increased as much as 10-fold above the mM concentrations present in normal neutrophils. Internal concentrations as high as 14 mM are achieved when external vitamin is at physiologic concentration. The mechanism is by oxidation of external vitamin to dehydroascorbic acid, preferential transmembrane translocation of dehydroa...
متن کاملAscorbic Acid-Erythrocyte Interaction: ESR Investigations
A ddition o f alcohol oxidase to erythrocytes trea ted with ascorbic acid reverses the vitam in C effect, as expressed by the appearance of the sem idehydroascorbate signal, and the increase in spin concentration. The original erythrocyte electron spin resonance (ESR) signal is, how ever, never restored completely, as it is in the case if ascorbate oxidase is used. Additional interaction betwee...
متن کاملVitamin E recycling in human erythrocyte membranes.
Vitamin E, the major lipid chain-breaking antioxidant in erythrocyte membranes, is present in low concentration, suggesting that mechanisms should exist to protect against its loss. Enzymatic pathways for the recycling of vitamin E from its tocopheroxyl radical have been observed previously in inner membranes of mitochondria and microsomes. These pathways use electron transport enzymes and thei...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of Ascorbic Acid in Human Beings
Introduction.?It is generally recognized that human beings, monkeys and guinea-pigs do not synthesize vitamin C in their body. The difference in the time of onset of the symptoms ?f vitamin C deficiency were attributed to differences in age, sex and locality. The great extent to which pregnant women could tolerate vitamin C deficiency could not be explained. It has, however, been suggested that...
