These results suggest that L-ascorbic acid improves leukocyte function in innate immune responses.
PMID: Mol Nutr Food Res. 2015 Aug ;59(8):1513-23. Epub 2015 May 8. PMID: 25808314 Abstract Title: Ascorbic acid modulates cell migration in differentiated HL-60 cells and peripheral blood leukocytes. Abstract: SCOPE: The impact of L-ascorbic acid (L-AA) on the chemokinesis (CK) and chemotaxis (CT) of HL-60 cells and polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) was investigated.METHODS AND RESULTS: …
Ascorbate inhibits iNOS expression and preserves vasoconstrictor responsiveness in skeletal muscle of septic mice.
PMID: Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol. 2003 Jul ;285(1):R50-6. Epub 2003 Mar 13. PMID: 12637347 Abstract Title: Ascorbate inhibits iNOS expression and preserves vasoconstrictor responsiveness in skeletal muscle of septic mice. Abstract: Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression in blood vessels contributes to the vascular hyporeactivity characteristic of sepsis. Our previous work demonstrated …
Ascorbate protects against vascular leakage in cecal ligation and puncture-induced septic peritonitis.
PMID: Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol. 2012 Feb 15 ;302(4):R409-16. Epub 2011 Nov 23. PMID: 22116513 Abstract Title: Ascorbate protects against vascular leakage in cecal ligation and puncture-induced septic peritonitis. Abstract: Vascular leakage in multiple organs is a characteristic pathological change in sepsis. Our recent study revealed that ascorbate protects endothelial barrier function …
Ascorbate protects against impaired arteriolar constriction in sepsis by inhibiting inducible nitric oxide synthase expression.
PMID: Free Radic Biol Med. 2004 Oct 15 ;37(8):1282-9. PMID: 15451067 Abstract Title: Ascorbate protects against impaired arteriolar constriction in sepsis by inhibiting inducible nitric oxide synthase expression. Abstract: Compromised microvascular responsiveness is one of the key factors associated with mortality of septic patients. The present study addresses the mechanism of protection by ascorbate against …
Glutamine supplementation suppresses herpes simplex virus reactivation.
PMID: J Clin Invest. 2017 Jun 30 ;127(7):2626-2630. Epub 2017 Jun 5. PMID: 28581445 Abstract Title: Glutamine supplementation suppresses herpes simplex virus reactivation. Abstract: Chronic viral infections are difficult to treat, and new approaches are needed, particularly those aimed at reducing reactivation by enhancing immune responses. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) establishes latency and reactivates frequently, …

25-vitamin D reduces inflammation in uremic environment.
PMID: Sci Rep. 2020 Jan 10 ;10(1):128. Epub 2020 Jan 10. PMID: 31924826 Abstract Title: 25-vitamin D reduces inflammation in uremic environment. Abstract: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by loss of renal function and a consequent increase of serum uremic toxins, which contribute to inflammation status. Deficiency of 25-vitamin D, often found in patients …
