Popis: This article is an attempt to study the metabolic functions of vitamin C and E together. Such a study must necessarily be imcomplete owing to the extreme richness of the literature. The increasing importance of the work on free radical reactions, their toxicity and carcinogenic action, and also their relation to the metabolism of metals, particularly iron, copper, selenium, and zinc, shows a number of metabolic pathways with which both vitamins interact. It is hoped that this article will indicate future research possibilities.
