Abstract:
The effects of large doses of vitamin C on serum alkaline phosphatase activity were examined in six young healthy volunteers. The experiment lasted 30 days. The results obtained were as follows.:
he mean basal AL-P level in the six subjects was 5.9±2.3 K-A unit. Upon administration of 1g/day of vitamin C, the values increased to the mean of 6.9±2.6 K-A unit, while after a dose of 10g/day, the mean came to 6.8±2.1 K-A unit. All the subjects showed increased AL-P serum levels relative to the control period.
