Genova) grown in hydroponics in comparison with that grown in soil. The antioxidant activities of aqueous and lipid extracts of basil leaves were evaluated both by spectrophotometric detection...
It has been well documented that ascorbate enhances iron uptake, with a proposed mechanism based on reduction to the more absorbable ferrous form. We have performed a study on the effects of ascorbate on ferric iron uptake in the human epithelial Caco-2 cell-line. Ascorbate increased uptake in a concentration-dependent manner with a significant difference between iron uptake and reduction. Uptake...
