Ascorbic acid (AA) levels in plasma (A), liver (B), and
brain (C). Homozygous (−/−) mice were on chow diet without vitamin C supplement for 3–5 weeks. Data are expressed mean ± SE. P < 0.0001. (D) Plasma total antioxidative capacity expressed as trolox equivalent (μM). P < 0.0001. (E) Correlation between plasma ascorbic acid andtotal antioxidative capacity of individual animals including all three genotypes.
