Vitamin C inhibits granulocyte macrophage-colony-stimulating factor-induced signaling p... - 0 views

  •  
    vitamin C found to decrease inflammatory signaling.  In this study, they found a decrease in GM-CSF induction of  ROS due to vitamin C.  This was an in vitro study, but another flag in the claim that vitamin C reduces inflammation and ROS.

Effect of high dose intravenous ascorbic acid on the level of inflammation in patients ... - 0 views

  •  
    This study, small pilot, showed that they were able to lower inflammation in those suffering from RA, through high dose vitamin C IV therapy. This study stopped at 25 gms. The vitamin C is a scavenger of ROS and ROS stimulates inflammation through NF-kappaB. This is how vitamin C can reduce inflammation.

Vitamin C and survival among women with breast cancer: A Meta-analysis - 0 views

  •  
    Meta-analysis finds that for every oral daily intake of 100 mg vitamin C, the risk of total mortality was decreased by 27% and the breast cancer specific mortality was decreased by 22%.  A lot of potential variables that can play into this equation.  However, oral vitamin C is poorly bioavailable, yet according to this meta-analysis, does provide significant health benefits and even prevention.  If health and breast cancer prevention is a goal, then vitamin C needs to play a role in your daily intake.

    IV vitamin C improves anemia.  The only possible contribution of IV vitamin C and anemia is a G6PD deficiency.

Dehydroascorbic acid, a blood-brain barrier transportable form of vitamin C, mediates p... - 0 views

  •  
    vitamin C does not cross the BBB, but its oxidize form, dehydroascorbic acid does.  This experimental model looked at IV DHA. The findings was that IV DHA resulted in higher brain C levels compared to IV vitamin C.

False Positive finger stick blood glucose readings after high-dose intravenous vitamin C - 0 views

  •  
    IV vitamin C > 15 grams falsely elevates finger sticks on glucose. Glucose and vitamin C are very similar chemically. This, however, is a false reading.

Massive Doses of Vitamin C and the Virus Diseases - 0 views

  •  
    High dose IV vitamin C beneficial in viral illnesses.  This is a case study article, but it discusses how viral illnesses are associated with low vitamin C levels and how high dose vitamin C therapy benefits the immune activity against viral invaders.

Blood Pressure Effects of Vitamin C | Hypertension - 0 views

  •  
    review article of studies on vitamin C and blood pressure finds mixed results.  I think it all comes down to dosing.  The authors highlight 2 studies to make their point. One find a significant reduction and another found a slight increase.  The dosing of the vitamin C was only 500 mg/day.  A woefully inadequate therapeutic dosing of vitamin C, especially when dealing with the significant deficiencies that can be found in disease states.

  •  
    small study looked at patients with liver cirrhosis.  The authors used a low dose of IV vitamin C (5 grams) and found that this improved endothelial dysfunction.  Patients with cirrhosis were found to be low in vitamin C.  The IV vitamin C was well tolerated, despite a low dose.

    IV vitamin C and IV vitamin C only can deliver levels to tumor cells that induce formation of H2O2 that then induces cell death.

  •  
    Phase I study of vitamin C and FOLFOX or FOLFIRI. Numerous studies have shown the extremely high safety profile of IV vitamin C in cancer. The need to show the same thing time and time again borders on the insanity. The potential adverse events listed in this study is from the FOLFOX or FOLFIRI, not the vitamin C.

The Effect of High Dose IV Vitamin C on Plasma Antioxidant Capacity and Level of Oxidat... - 1 views

  •  
    Studies have debated on the proxidant/antioxidant effect of high dose IV vitamin C. This study finds only antioxidant effects from IV vitamin C in vivo. This study also found the antioxidant effect plateaued out at 25 grams.

Phase I safety trial of intravenous ascorbic acid in patients with severe sepsis - 1 views

  • Padayatty and colleagues showed that high-level ascorbic acid plasma concentrations could only be achieved by intravenous administration
  • No patient in the low or high dose ascorbic acid treatment arms of this study suffered any identifiable adverse event
  • a pharmacologic ascorbic acid treatment strategy in critically ill patients with severe sepsis appears to be safe
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • subnormal plasma ascorbic acid levels are a predictable feature in patients with severe sepsis
  • Ascorbic acid depletion in sepsis results from ascorbic acid consumption by the reduction of plasma free iron, ascorbic acid consumption by the scavenging of aqueous free radicals (peroxyl radicals), and by the destruction of the oxidized form of ascorbic acid dehydroascorbic acid
  • Sepsis further inhibits intracellular reduction of dehydroascorbic acid, producing acute intracellular ascorbic acid depletion
  • Ascorbic acid treated patients in this study exhibited rapid and sustained increases in plasma ascorbic acid levels using an intermittent every six hours administration protocol
  • Septic ascorbic acid-deficient neutrophils fail to undergo normal apoptosis. Rather, they undergo necrosis thereby releasing hydrolytic enzymes in tissue beds, thus contributing to organ injury
  • We speculate that intravenous ascorbic acid acts to restore neutrophil ascorbic acid levels
  • Repletion of ascorbic acid in this way allows for normal apoptosis, thus, preventing the release of organ damaging hydrolytic enzymes.
  •  
    Study finds IV vitamin C in patients with sepsis is very safe and blunts the effects (endothelial damage, end organ damage...) of sepsis.  Of note, the IV vitamin C group reached serum levels of ascorbic acid of 1,592 to 5,722 micromol/L.  The IV groups maintained elevated serum C levels for up to 96 hours post infusion.

Temperature-dependent and time-dependent effects of hyperthermia mediated by dextran-co... - 0 views

  •  
    effect of time and temperature on the viability of melanoma cell lines and expression of HSP 70 & 90 after brief exposure to hyperthermia. While hyperthermia has multiple mechanisms of action, this paper elucidates two essential benefits of high-dose hyperthermia. First, the study illustrates why high-dose hyperthermia treatments (45°C - 47°C) are so much more effective than the low-dose hyperthermia (39°C - 43°C) produced by commercially available heating devices.

  •  
    This study shows that inflammation, CRP in this study, was inversely associated with low antioxidants ie. vitamin C.  This makes since as ROS are known to stimulate inflammation.  Vitamin C should be considered as a therapeutic option in those with inflammation.
