Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

The use of ascorbate increased the antioxidant effect of low nitrite salt levels, whereas it slightly increased protein carbonylation at higher doses of nitrite salt.

Further reaction of organic nitrite with thiols or ascorbate leads to the generation of NO or nitrosothiols and thus stimulates the activation of sGC.

The effect of ascorbic acid on intact activated macrophages is complex since nitrite formation is enhanced over a very wide range of ascorbate concentrations (5-500 microM) while nitrosation is inhibited at ascorbate concentrations greater than 50 microM.
