Abstrakt
Oral administration of 10 mg per kilogram of body weight of ascorbic acid (AA) completely prevented development of scurvy in juvenile rhesus monkey (Mucaca mulata) fed an AA-free liquid diet. The same dose cured scurvy when injected intramuscularly. An equimolar dose of ascorbic acid 2-sulfate (AA-2-S) did not prevent or cure scurvy. Neither AA nor AA-2-S altered serum cholesterol. AA but not AA-2-S reduced serum triglyceride. A case of scurvy in an AA-2-S treated monkey is described in detail.
