Ascorbic acid effect on some lipid fractions in human beings.

A group of 50 volunteers of our Faculty students have taken Vitamin C 2 g per day at regular time intervals for 2 months. Blood samples were taken in the beginning, one month and 2 months after vitamin administration. Cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, lipoprotein and triglyceride concentrations were determined. Cholesterol concentrations were decreased significantly at the end of treatment. Triglyceride concentrations were decreased also in first and second month. HDL-cholesterol were rised significantly and alpha and beta fractions of lipoprotein were increased.
