Abstract
Summary
Dehdroascorbic and total ascorbic acid were measured in the liver, spleen, adrenals, muscle, and plasma of rats infected with T. hippicum and the reduced ascorbic acid content of these tissues was calculated.
The liver, spleen and adrenals showed significant decreases in reduced ascorbic acid content. The dehydroascorbic acid content of the muscle was increased slightly and both dehydroascorbic and reduced ascorbic acid of the plasma were increased two-fold.
