Vitamin C, also known as L-Ascorbic acid, is a polyhydroxy compound with a chemical formula of C6H8O6. The structure is similar to glucose, and the two adjacent enol hydroxyl groups at the 2nd and 3rd positions in the molecule are easily dissociated and release H+, so it has acid properties, also known as L-ascorbic acid. Vitamin C has strong reducing properties and is easily oxidized into dehydrovitamin C, but its reaction is reversible, and ascorbic acid and dehydroascorbic acid have the same physiological functions, but if dehydroascorbic acid continues to oxidize, diketocorbic acid is formed. Lonic acid reacts irreversibly and completely loses its physiological efficacy.
Vitamin C forms antibodies and collagen, tissue repair (including some redox effects), metabolism of phenylalanine, tyrosine, and folic acid, utilization of iron and carbohydrates, synthesis of fats and proteins, maintenance of immune function, and hydroxyl It is necessary for serotonin to maintain the integrity of blood vessels and promote the absorption of non-heme iron. At the same time, vitamin C also has anti-oxidation, anti-free radicals, and inhibits the formation of tyrosinase, thereby achieving whitening and spot-lightening effects.
In the human body, vitamin C is a highly effective antioxidant, used to reduce the oxidative stress of ascorbate peroxidase (ascorbate peroxidase) sch. There are many important biosynthetic processes that also require the participation of vitamin C.
Since most mammals can synthesize vitamin C by the liver, there is no problem of deficiency; however, a few animals such as humans, primates, and woodchucks cannot synthesize by themselves, and must be ingested through food and drugs.
Vitamin C can be oxidized or reduced in the body, so it can be used as a hydrogen donor and as a hydrogen acceptor, playing an important role in the redox process in the body.
