This invention provides a method for increasing the concentration of ascorbic acid in the cells of a subject which comprises administering to the subject an amount of dehydroascorbic acid effective to increase the concentration of ascorbic acid in the subject's cells. This invention further provides a method for increasing the antioxidant potential of the cells of a subject which comprises administering to the subject an amount of dehydroascorbic acid effective to increase the antioxidant potential of the subject's cells. This invention also provides a method for increasing the concentration of ascorbic acid in brain tissue of a subject which comprises administering to the subject an amount of dehydroascorbic acid effective to increase the concentration of ascorbic acid in the subject's brain tissue. This invention also provides a method for increasing the antioxidant potential of brain tissue of a subject which comprises administering to the subject an amount of dehydroascorbic acid effective to increase the antioxidant potential of the subject's brain tissue.
A method for increasing the concentration of ascorbic acid in a cell which comprises contacting the cell with an amount of dehydroascorbic acid effective to increase the concentration of ascorbic acid in the cell.
