Abstract
Y79 human retinoblastoma cells have a high capacity to reduce ascorbate autooxidation rates through the reduction of the ascorbate free radicals generated in the oxidation process. Responsible of this capacity is a plasma membrane redox system, which might be functionally related to the Na+/H+ antiporter. Ascorbate has cytotoxic effect on Y79 cells in long-term incubations in the presence of limited amounts of serum in the medium.Entities:
