Description

General description

Sodium L-ascorbate is an ascorbate derivative.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sodium L-ascorbate favors apoptosis in urinary bladder carcinoma. It reduces reactive oxygen species generation and plays a role in elastogenesis. In addition, it improves mRNA levels of tropoelastin contributing to skin remodeling. Sodium L-ascorbate may serve as a potential therapeutic potential and may be used in combination with collagenogenesis inhibitorsfor treating dermal scars and keloids. It has wide applications in the food industry as an antioxidant and preservative. Sodium ascorbate also elicits protection by stabilizing membrane, lowering lipid peroxidation and enhancing total antioxidant content.
