These products are rich in vitamin C, which is involved many metabolic pathways body. well-balanced will generally provide you with enough ascorbic acid. The content vitamins depends on factors, including place origin product, season, species,...

OBJECTIVE To assess the role of combined deficiencies of vitamins C and E on the earliest stages of atherosclerosis (an inflammatory condition associated with oxidative stress), 4 combinations of vitamin supplementation (low C/low E, low C/high E, high C/low E, and high C/high E) were studied in atherosclerosis-prone apolipoprotein E-deficient mice also unable to synthesize their own vitamin C ...

Rosehip is a good source of some biologically active compounds. The main importance of rosehip is its high composition of vitamin C and rutin (vitamin P) and high content of pectins, fatty acids, sugars, organic acids, phenolic components, lycopene, carotene with activity of vitamin A and group B vitamins, tannins, carotenoids, minerals (particularly K and P) macroand microelements (Tuer & Russ...

Paraquat causes lung injury by oxidative stress. After 48 h of intraperitoneal administration of paraquat (50 mg/kg of body weight) to rats, the vitamin C concentration in the lungs was significantly decreased, while lung vitamin E content was increased after 12 h. These results indicate that vitamin C directly reflected the oxidative stress in the lungs.

To investigate effects of putrescine (Put) and humic acid (HA) on fruit yield and physiological attributes of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. 'Kano') under water deficit stress, a field experiment was conducted in split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. Plants were exposed to three different irrigation regimes (33%, 66% and 100% ETc) and were treated with...

Folate deficiency associated with low dietary intake is a well-documented public health problem, resulting in serious health and socioeconomic burdens. Therefore, optimization of the germination process of different cultivars of legume seeds in relation to the content and composition of folate, vitamin C, and total phenolics and total antioxidant capacity was carried out to maximize the health-...
