PMID:  Arch Biochem Biophys. 2005 Aug 15 ;440(2):165-72. PMID: 16054587 Abstract Title:  Ascorbate uptake and antioxidant function in peritoneal macrophages. Abstract:  Since activated macrophages generate potentially deleterious reactive oxygen species, we studied whether ascorbic acid might function as an antioxidant in these cells. Thioglycollate-elicited murine peritoneal macrophages contained about 3 mM ascorbate that was halved …
