Multiwalled carbon nanotubes were used to modify the surface of a glassy carbon electrode to enhance its electroactivity. Nafion served to immobilise the carbon nanotubes on the electrode surface. The modified electrode was used to develop an analytical method for the analysis of ascorbic acid (AA) by square-wave voltammetry (SWV). The oxidation of ascorbic acid at the modified glassy carbon el...

introduction: ascorbic acid (aa) acts as an antioxidant in the central nervous system (cns) of the mammalians. it is released from the some nerve ending together with neurotransmitters. the results have shown that ascorbic acid could affect learning as well as memory. in this study, we examined the effect of icv injection of ascorbic acid on learning and memory by morris water maze. method: in ...

The water and MeOH extracts of the stems of Quercus coccifera L. are screened for their radical scavenging activity against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH), superoxide (SO) and nitric oxide (NO) radicals spectroscopically. Dose dependent radical scavenging activity was observed and the results were found to be comparable to that of known antioxidant compounds BHA (3-t-butyl-4-hydroxyaniso...

In this study, a new reaction system for quantitative determination of ascorbic acid was introduced. The developed method is based on inhibitory effect of ascorbic acid on the Orange G-bromate system. The change in absorbance was followed spectrophotometrically at 478 nm. The dependence of sensitivity on the reaction variables including reagents concentration, temperature and time was investiga...

Various chemicals can have different effects on the properties of the cement slurry. In this paper, the different effects of L-ascorbic acid have been investigated on the important parameters of cement slurry made from class G oil well cement. These parameters included the amount of free fluid, rheological properties, Thickening Time, and compressive strength. Several cement slurries were made ...

in order to study the effects of ascorbic acid as an important antioxidant reducing salinity damage, an experiment was conducted on two althernantera genotypes (“entire leaf” and “undulated leaf”) at research greenhouse of shahid chamran university in 2013. concentrations of 0, 0.5 and 1 mm of ascorbic acid were sprayed weekly on plants grown under 0, 30, 60, 90 mm nacl. the experiment was carr...

this investigation determined that vitamin c intake of c.w. was higher than o.p. , s. c. and c. statistically, there was a significant difference between c.w. and c. blood ascorbic acid levels of o.p. and s.c. were lower than c.w. and c. , a significant difference was observed. urinary vitamin c in all groups was lower than controls and this indicates that even though vitamin c intake was high,...
