Vitamin C and adaptation to heat

Ljubomir Božović ; Fiziološki zavod Medicinskog fakulteta Zagreb

Abstract

The administration of vitamin C, in the amounts used, inhibits completely the typical hypertrophy of the adrenals in white rats exposed to humid heat (34°-36° C). It is suggested that the resistance of these animals is higher than of the untreated. The possible mechanism of action of vitamin C is briefly discussed.
