Ascorbic acid has wide usage in medical practice for treatment some diseases caused by degeneration of connective tissue. Ascorbic acid has strong reduce properties. This article is dedicated to investigating complexation properties of ascorbic acid with components of biomembrans-bioligands: the most widespread aminoacids of connective tissue, phosphatidylholine, ATP, calcium salts, proteins. The investigations realised give the opportunity to make the conclusion that ascorbic acid has some complexation properties with different bioligands. But the stability of these complex products is different. And these stability variationes are described in this article.

: The demand for a safe compound for hyperpigmentation is continuously increasing. Bioactive compounds such as thymoquinone (TQ) and ascorbic acid (AA) induce inhibition of melanogenesis with a high safety profile. The aim of this study was to design and evaluate spanlastics gel loaded with bioactive agents, TQ and AA, for the management of hyperpigmentation.

Freshwater depletion becomes a significant challenge as the population grows and food demand rises. We evaluated the responses of lettuce cultivars () under saline stress in photosynthetic responses, production, and ion homeostasis. We used a randomized block design in a 3 × 5 factorial scheme with five replications-the first factor: three cultivars of curly lettuce: SVR 2005, Simpson, and Grand Rapids.

Children and teenagers display a distinct metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) phenotype, yet studies of childhood MASH are scarce and validated animal models lacking, limiting the development of treatments. Poor vitamin C (VitC) status may affect MASH progression and often co-occurs with high-fat diets and related metabolic imbalances. As a regulator of DNA methylation, poor VitC status may further contribute to MASH by regulating gene expression This study investigated guinea pigs-a species that, like humans, depends on vitC in the diet-as a model of pediatric MASH, examining the effects of poor VitC status on MASH hallmarks and global DNA methylation levels.

Vitamin C is an antioxidant and is essential for immune function and infection resistance. Supplementation is necessary when a sufficient amount of vitamin C is not obtained through the diet. Alternative formulations of vitamin C may enhance its bioavailability and retention over traditional ascorbic acid.
