Judged from the exchange rate between luteal and plasma ascorbic acid there appears to be no compartmentalization of ascorbic acid within the corpus luteum. Evidence is presented to show that the uptake of ascorbic acid into slices of superovulated rat ovary is an energy-dependent process which is inhibited by luteinizing hormone (LH) by means of its stimulatory effect on progesterone synthesis. The results are discussed in relation to the adrenal cortex and methods involving ascorbic acid depletion used in the assay of corticotrophin and LH.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
