Abstract
Summary
The action of ascorbic acid on the leukocyte response of normal (shamadrenalectomized) and adrenalectomized rats was investigated. The data indicate that, of all the leukocytes studied, only the eosinophils are related to the action of ascorbic acid. The vitamin alters the eosinopenia of stress in intact rats, and delays the eosinophilia characteristic of stress in adrenalectomized rats.
