Oxidation by trace Cu(2+) ions underlies the ability of ascorbate to induce vascular dysfunction in the rat perfused mesentery

Ascorbate has both antioxidant and pro-oxidant activities. We have previously shown that plasma levels of ascorbate induce constriction and blockade of dilatation mediated by endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF). In this study we sought to determine if these detrimental actions were med...
