“…Vitamin C supplements, however, had no effect on aspirin induced gastric release of reactive oxygen metabolites and did not protect against gastric injury in our study.Ascorbate is a hydrophilic compound that can-Aspirin + vitamin C* not scavenge lipophilic radicals within lipid membranes,43 a property that might prevent it reacting in the lumen with radicals induced by aspirin. It may still have a role as an antioxidant following absorption, however, as it is known to be concentrated in the gastric epithe-lium44 and reaches high concentrations after oral supplementation.42[45][46][47][48] Possibly the most important mode of absorption is by an active, sodium dependent transport mechanism from the small bowel.49 50 There is, however, some evidence that suggests that aspirin impairs sodium dependent transport mechanisms.5' tion of vitamin C with aspirin seemed to impair absorption,42 although this has been I the duodenum after each disputed 45 46. In all three studies, however, and placebo.…”

“…On the leucocytes, some interference with the mechanisms for active uptake of ascorbic acid is possible. It may be that the enzymes necessary for the transport of ascorbic acid across the leucocyte cell membrane are affected (9).…”

“…In some cases there may be a pre-existing deficiency of ascorbic acid before surgery is undertaken, such as in peptic ulceration (Cohen and Duncan, 1967;Dymock et al, 1967) and in patients with gastro-intestinal haemorrhage (Russell et al, 1968). In particular, aspirin is a known ascorbic acid tissue desaturator (Loh et al, 1974), and it has been suggested that subclinical scurvy may be responsible for haemorrhage after aspirin ingestion (Coffey and Wilson, 1975).…”
