Synonym(s):
L(+)-Ascorbic acid sodium salt, Vitamin C sodium salt
General description
Ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C, is a water-soluble vitamin.[1] L-Ascorbic acid is a reducing agent.[2]
Application
(+)-Sodium L-ascorbate has been used:
• as a component of cutting solution for storing brain slices of rats[3]
• as a component of patch pipette internal solution for imaging Ca2+ transients evoked by action potential in rat brain slices[3]
• as a supplement for arterial smooth muscle cell (SMC) cultures to encourage collagen production[4]
Biochem/physiol Actions
Ascorbic acid exhibits anti-oxidant properties. It is a primary substrate for detoxifying hydrogen peroxide.[1] Ascorbic acid is a co-factor for the synthesis of adrenal steroids and catecholamines.[5] L-Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) is a water soluble molecule used in a wide variety of applications, including cell culture, as a reducing agent that helps reduce oxidative stress. L-Ascorbate can be regenerated by biological systems.
