EFFECT OF SODIUM SALT OF GLUCOSE CYCLO-ACETOACETATE ON THE BIOSYNTHESIS OF ASCORBIC ACID IN RIBOFLAVIN DEFICIENT RATS

Abstract

In the present paper the role of glucose cycloacetoacetate (GCA) in vitamin C synthesis of riboflavin-deficient rats was studied. It is evident from the results that GCA helps in maintaining vitamin C levels in blood and tissues of riboflavin-deficient rats.
