Effects of L-ascorbate 2-sulfate (AAS) on lipid metabolism were studied in guinea pigs maintained on diet I with sufficient L-ascorbic acid (AA) supplement or on diet II without AA supplement. AAS(300 mg/kg) inhibited an increase in serum and liver levels of lipids to a greater degree than AA (175 mg/kg), a reference compond, in hyperlipidemic guinea pigs induced by cholesterol feeding with diets I or II. AAS also induced a decrease in serum and liver levels of lipids in guinea pigs which had been previously maintained for 6 weeks on diet II containing 1.0% cholesterol. AA administration significantly increased AA level in various organs of animals maintained on both the diets containing cholesterol. It also rectified the AA level lowered by previous maintenance on diet II containing cholesterol. AAS showed a slight AA replacing effect on the AA level. Both AA and AAS exerted preventive and curative effects on several symptoms due to chronic AA deficiency.

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.

D001206 Ascorbic Acid Deficiency A condition due to a dietary deficiency of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), characterized by malaise, lethargy, and weakness. As the disease progresses, joints, muscles, and subcutaneous tissues may become the sites of hemorrhage. Ascorbic acid deficiency frequently develops into SCURVY in young children fed unsupplemented cow's milk exclusively during their first year. It develops also commonly in chronic alcoholism.
