Research Papers that Mention the Interaction
“The ascorbic acid plays an important part by activation of hydroxylation reactions in various biosyntheses, such as in that of tropocollagen, bile acids and carnitine.”
[Recent knowledge concerning the biochemistry and significance of ascorbic acid].“ Liver carnitine level decreased from 249±16.1 nmoles/g (mean ±SEM) control value to 148±9.8 nmoles/g (59.4%) in ascorbic acid deficient guinea-pigs, while in the underfed (‘pair-fed’) group it decreased to 181±14.1 nmoles/g (72.6%).”
“Underfeeding also resulted in lower ascorbic acid levels; the depression of carnitine in the underfed animals could be prevented by an overdose (200 mg daily) of ascorbic acid.”
“In skeletal muscle, vitamin C not only enhances carnitine biosynthesis but also protects cells against ROS generation induced by physical exercise.”
“Ascorbic acid AsA ) is known to be required for the synthesis of carnitine.”
The effect of graded doses of ascorbic acid on the tissue carnitine and plasma lipid concentrations.
