Ascorbic acid and tocopherol levels in the organs and serum of guinea pigs with experimentally induced atherosclerosis

Ziemlański, Ś., Wartanowicz, M., Potrzebnicka, K., and Panczenko-Kresowska, B.: Ascorbic acid and tocopherol levels in the organs and serum of guinea pigs with experimentally induced atherosclerosis. Acta physiol, pol., 1989, 40(5-6): 552-557. A 7-month experiment was carried out on ginea pigs to elucidate the effect of hight-cholesterol diet containing various fats on the levels of ascorbic acid and to tocopherol in the organism. In the guinea pigs with experimentally induced atherosclerosis the retention of ascorbic acid and tocopherol was found to be greater than that in the control animals.
