Ascorbic acid and adrenal cortical activity in the immature domestic fowl

Vitamin C: Effects of Exercise and Requirements with Training

“…Although Kipp and Rivers did not measure dehydroascorbic acid, the oxidation of ascorbic acid to dehydroascorbic acid during the synthesis of cortisol (62) could account for its apparent depletion within the adrenal gland upon ACTH stimulation. Freeman (35) has reported that 1 hour after the injection of ACTH, relative to chickens not supplemented with vitamin C, there was a greater increase in plasma corticosteroid concentrations in those chickens receiving additional vitamin C in their diet.…”
