N-nitrosomorpholine biosynthesis and inhibition in mice treated with nitrate, morpholine and ascorbic acid, was studied by means of the mutagenic activity in urine samples. The preincubation method was used and Salmonella typhimurium TA 1535 was the test strain. The results suggest that N-nitrosomorpholine biosynthesis was carried out when the animals were fed high doses of nitrate, however ascorbic acid was an inhibitor of this process.

D001205 Ascorbic Acid A six carbon compound related to glucose. It is found naturally in citrus fruits and many vegetables. Ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient in human diets, and necessary to maintain connective tissue and bone. Its biologically active form, vitamin C, functions as a reducing agent and coenzyme in several metabolic pathways. Vitamin C is considered an antioxidant.
