“…A handful of studies have explored the effects of sex hormones on plasma vitamin C concentrations. Some of the first evidence to postulate a link between hormones and plasma vitamin C came from a rat model which reported that adrenalectomy decreases ascorbic acid and dehydroascorbic acid in the rat liver, the organ primarily responsible for the synthesis and secretion of ascorbate into plasma (Nathani et al, 1971). This investigation was indicative of the importance that adrenal corticoids play in ascorbic acid metabolism.…”

Gender, Age, Vitamin C and Cognition age-associated cognitive differences, with older cohorts appearing more vulnerable to experience declines in plasma vitamin C concentrations alongside compromised vitamin C brain regulation. This review encourages future investigations to take into account both gender and age when assessing the link between plasma vitamin C concentrations and cognitive function. Further large scale investigations are required to assess whether differences in cognitive function between genders and age groups may be causally attributed to plasma vitamin C status and brain distribution and utilization.
