Abstract
The two factors of variability studied have been an outgrowth of an investigation of total ascorbic acid utilization by the human. The factors are the carry-over effect of previous intake of total ascorbic acid on subsequent data and the effect of the same amount of a test dose of ascorbic acid given either at a single time or divided by an interval of time. In addition, the sensitivity of blood plasma and urine measurements as a means to differentiate changes in ascorbic acid intake has been studied. Total ascorbic acid measurements of the blood plasma and of 24-hour urine returns were the measures. From the data obtained under the conditions of these experiments it is concluded that:Keywords
