Treatment
With
Vitamin C Dissolves Toxic Protein Aggregates in Alzheimer's
Disease
ScienceDaily
(Aug. 18, 2011)
… "When we treated brain tissue from
mice suffering from Alzheimer's disease with vitamin C, we could
see
that the toxic protein aggregates were dissolved. Our results
show a
previously unknown model for how vitamin C affects the amyloid
plaques," says Katrin Mani, reader in Molecular Medicine at Lund
University.
"Another interesting finding is that the useful
vitamin C does not need to come from fresh fruit. In our
experiments,
we show that the vitamin C can also be absorbed in larger
quantities
in the form of dehydroascorbic acid from juice that has been
kept
overnight in a refrigerator, for
example."…

Vitamins C and E May
Protect Against Mental Decline
"We
believe antioxidants like vitamins C and E may protect against
vascular dementia by limiting the amount of brain damage that
persists after a stroke," said study author Kamal Masaki, MD, of
the University of Hawaii in Honolulu. "The supplements may also
play a role in providing protection against brain cell and
membrane
injury involved in many aging-related diseases, thus resulting
in
significantly higher scores on mental performance tests in later
life."

Vitamin C injections ease
ovarian-cancer treatments
High doses reduce chemotherapy side effects in humans and
fight tumours in mice.

...They noticed that earlier trials had partially relied on
intravenous administration of high doses of vitamin C, or
ascorbate, whereas the larger follow-up studies had used only
oral doses of the drug.
This, they reasoned, could be an important difference: ascorbate
is processed by the body in different ways when administered
orally versus intravenously. Oral doses act as antioxidants,
protecting cells from damage caused by reactive compounds that
contain oxygen. But vitamin C given intravenously can have
the opposite effect by promoting the formation of one of those
compounds: hydrogen peroxide. Cancer cells are particularly
susceptible to damage by such reactive oxygen-containing
compounds...
