Ascorbic acid: a useful reductant to avoid oxidation of catecholamines in electrophysiological experiments in vitro?

چکیده
The actions of the reductant ascorbic acid on rat neocortical neurons in vitro was investigated by means of intracellular recordings. At a concentration (500 microM), which reduced the magnitude of dopamine degradation in oxygen-saturated saline solutions by about 50%, ascorbic acid reversibly depressed synaptic potentials and enhanced direct excitability of cortical neurons. The latter effect was not reversible within the observation period. Ascorbic acid did not alter membrane potential and input resistance of the neurons. On the basis of our results we conclude that ascorbic acid is not a useful reductant to avoid oxidation of catecholamines in oxygen-saturated solutions used in electrophysiological experiments in vitro.

Antioxidant effect of ascorbic acid on the quality of Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) fillets during frozen storage
The effect of aqueous solutions of ascorbic acid (AA) on the rancidity development in Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) fillets during frozen storage was studied. Cobia fillets were treated with ascorbic acid (AA 0.25% and AA 0.5%) then stored at -18°C up to 6 months. Rancidity development was measured by several biochemical indices including free fatty acids (FFA), peroxide value (PV), and thiobarb...

Nonenzymatic glycation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) is a reaction of glucose and other reducing sugars with apolipoprotein B100 (apo-B100) lysine residues. In diabetes, this reaction is greatly accelerated and is important in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. The objective of this study was to investigate in vitro effects of ?-tocopherol, ascorbic acid and lycopene on LDL glycatio...
