Rhesus monkeys fed an ascorbic acid-free, purified liquid diet, developed scurvy in 70 to 105 days as evidenced by loss of weight, anemia, bleeding gums, inflamed palate, diarrhea, and inability to stand. Oral administration of either 10 mg/kg body weight of ascorbic acid or an equimolar amount of
To obtain some insight into the toxicity of paraquat (PQ) in humans, PQ dichloride at 250 ppm in the diet was administered to both normal (NO) rats and ODS-od/od (OD) rats which are unable to synthesize ascorbic acid (AsA). Firstly, OD rats and NO rats treated with PQ were compared with untreated NO
Colostrum-fed, colostrum-deprived, and colostrum-fed and colostrum-deprived calves fed ascorbic acid (1.75 g/d) in whole, raw milk to 6 wk of age were sampled from 0 to 8 wk of age in order to determine whether ascorbate supplementation would increase plasma Ig concentrations, antibody response to
Background: Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) infection causes prolonged, watery diarrhea leading to morbidity and mortality. Although EPEC infection impacts nutrient transporter function and expression in intestinal epithelial
The effect of the aqueous (aq) seed extract of Aframomum melegueta. K. Schum. (Zingiberaceae) on castor oil-induced diarrhea, intestinal fluid secretion, and gastrointestinal transit was investigated in the study. Castor oil (10 ml/kg, p.o.) induced copious diarrhea in all rats 3 h after treatment.
Preclinical studies suggest synergistic effectiveness of ascorbic acid (AA, vitamin C) and cytotoxic agents in gastrointestinal malignancies. This phase 1 study aimed to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of AA combined with mFOLFOX6 or Consensus from individual studies and several review articles is that consumption of supplemental vitamin C leads to no significant adverse health effects to humans in general. Individuals who have a history of kidney stone formation and those who experience iron overload should exercise caution
Adoptive immunotherapy of human cancer was investigated in our institution as part of a National Cancer Institute extramural group study. This treatment, for patients with metastatic malignant melanoma, hypernephroma, and colon carcinoma, consisted of three phases: (a) 5 days of i.v. high-dose
Naphthalene poisoning is a rare form of toxicity that may occur after ingestion, inhalation, or dermal exposure to naphthalene-containing compounds such as mothballs.

Absorption of 233U, 238Pu, 241Am, and 244Cm from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract was measured in rats, fed ad libitum or fasted, that were gavaged with solutions containing ferric iron, ferrous iron, iron powder, quinhydrone or ascorbic acid. Absorption and retention of all of these actinides was
Patients (n = 15) with metastatic malignant melanoma, hypernephroma, and colon carcinoma received a three-phase adoptive immunotherapy protocol: phase 1, 10(5) units (high-dose) interleukin-2 (IL-2) iv every 8 h or 1 mg/m2 continuous intravenous infusion; phase 2, 6.5 d rest + leukapheresis; phase
