Reduced Plasma Ascorbate and Increased Proportion of Dehydroascorbic Acid Levels in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis

Abstract: Ascorbate functions as an electron donor and scavenges free radicals. Dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), the oxidized form of ascorbate, is generated as a result of these reactions. While low plasma ascorbate levels have been reported in hemodialysis patients worldwide, no studies have measured DHA because it is not generalized. In this study, we aimed to clarify whether plasma ascorbate levels are low in dialysis patients and whether plasma ascorbate levels fluctuate before and after dialysis. Moreover, we applied o… Show more

“…The sample size was calculated using G-power software (version 3.1.9.7) [17]. The F-test was used to estimate the required sample size (α = 0.05, power = 0.8 [18,19]), and the minimum sample size of 14 subjects was revealed. Therefore, seventeen subjects (eight men; nine women) were recruited for the experiment.…”
