THE EFFECTS OF ASCORBIC ACID ON MEMBRANE TRANSPORT OF GLUCOSE
Institute of fiziology,
Faculty of
Medicine, Niš
At the beginning of the
experiment the level of ascorbic acid and the level of glycemia were
determined twelve hours after the last meal. In the following seven days
each of the examined women was given, beside the usual nourishment, 1000
mg ascorbic acid (two times a day of 500 mg with breakfast and lunch).
The level of ascorbic acid and glycemia was determined on the eight day
of the experiment, twenty-four hours after the last taken dosage of
ascorbic acid. The achived results of oral glucose - tolerance test
(OGTT) at the begining and in the end of the test were shown in a table
and on a diagram. This hyperglycemia is probaly the consequence of receptor obstruction in cellular membrane by ascorbic acid. Acta Medica Medianae 2004; 43(3): 29-31.
