The Action of Ascorbic Acid on Collagen as a Protective System Against Ultra-Violet Irradiation
- 1. I. Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, Tbilisi (Georgia)
Description
The real action of ascorbic acid as a protective system on collagen upon ultra-violet (UV) irradiation has been shown by electron spin resonance (ESR) method. The received results are in a good agreement with the data obtained by thermodynamic studies and clarify them. Ascorbic acid is represented as a free radical scavenger which protects protein against the appearance of secondary radicals and also reduces structural damages. (authors)
