Popis: SummaryShort exposure (1 hr) to hyper-thermia (42.5°) is not accompanied by altered cellular respiration in EATC. Ascorbic acid has been shown to significantly effect metabolism in both in vitro and in vivo experiments. Ascorbic acid results in a significant reduction in lactate concentrations in EATC. The present evidence suggest that these alterations in metabolism are not due to alterations in cAMP concentrations. Alterations in the electron transport chain may account for the changes in metabolism observed with ascorbic acid supplementation. Although ascorbic acid does not inhibit or destroy EATC under our conditions, It does lead to significant metabolic changes.
