A prooxidant effect of ascorbate dependent on the time at which it was administered to rats has been demonstrated (Kang et al., Another study reported an increase in 8-oxoadenine levels (DNA oxidative damage marker) and, paradoxically, a decrease in 8-oxoguanosine levels from basal measurements when supplementing 30 healthy volunteers with 500 mg/day of vitamin C for 6 weeks, compared to the results observed with the placebo group (Podmore et al., 1998)
