Indian and black patients admitted to King Edward VIII and R. K. Khan Hospitals with a diagnosis of cardiac infarction and diabetes mellitus were studied. The mean serum cholesterol levels were higher in the indian group. This preliminary study suggests a negative correlation between leucocyte ascorbic acid and serum cholesterol levels in Indians, especially in patients with infarction. This, however, does not preclude an effect of latent ascorbic acid deficiency on the vessel wall. The possible relevance of the findings to the development of atherosclerosis is discussed.
对入住爱德华八世国王医院和R.K.汗医院、诊断为心肌梗死和糖尿病的印度裔和黑人患者进行了研究。印度裔组的平均血清胆固醇水平较高。这项初步研究表明，印度人，尤其是心肌梗死患者，白细胞抗坏血酸与血清胆固醇水平之间呈负相关。然而，这并不排除潜在抗坏血酸缺乏对血管壁的影响。文中讨论了这些发现与动脉粥样硬化发展的可能相关性。
