“Cytokine secretion was downregulated by ascorbate even to lower values than those observed in basal cultures ( IFNγ : p=0.0312; TNFα: p=0.0312; IFNα: p=0.0312; and IL-6: p=0.0078).”
“RESULTS The addition of as orbate to in vitro culture gliadin-challenged biopsies blocked the secretion of nitrites (p=0.013), IFN γ (p =0.0207), TNFα (p=0.0099), IFNα (p=0.0375), and IL-6 (p=0.0036) compared to samples from non-ascorbate supplemented culture.”
