Abstract
WHITE cell ascorbic acid and serum cholesterol levels were studied in relation to smoking habits in 41 middle aged males. Ascorbic acid levels in smokers were significantly lower than in normals. Significant correlations between ascorbic acid and serum cholesterol levels were found in smokers. The hypothesis that ascorbic acid may mediate cholesterol catabolism in smokers is discussed.Entities:
