Am J Clin Nutr 1996; 63:760-765. The plasma concentration of vitamin C is low in critically ill patients, and this is not prevented by intravenous nutrition containing ascorbic acid. This may compromise antioxidant deficiency in such patients.

This study demonstrated that a synthetic antioxidant, which had been found to be effective in a range of model systems of ischaemia-reperfusion injury, was not effective in a thigh tourniquet compression study.
