Ascorbic acid and cholesterol: effect of graded oral intakes on cholesterol conversion to bile acids in guinea-pigs. 1976

D Hornig, and H Weiser

A significant correlation between liver ascorbic acid (AA) and total bile acids or liver bile acids has been established in guinea-pigs by direct determination of the bile acids, confirming an earlier hypothesis. The oxidation of cholesterol to bile acids is dependent on the AA status, but it cannot be further stimulated by AA when the animals are already on an adequate intake of the vitamin. This suggests that AA has a hypocholesterolaemic effect over a limited range of AA status.

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.
