That is the accurate, honest starting point
Oxidized ascorbate (DHA) can be recycled back to ascorbate (AscH ) by 2-electron reduction catalyzed by dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), a key enzyme involved in ascorbate recycling (see Fig
A total number of 2635 raw movie stacks made of 50 frames each were collected with SerialEM 87 from a single individual session with a GLACIOS 200 kV FEG Cryo-TEM (ThermoFisher Scientific) using a K2 Summit detector (Gatan Inc., USA) at 36000 magnification and pixel size of 1.145 /pixel without pre-exposure and using a defocus of 2.6 to 1.8 m and 50 e - / 2 total dose per stack (1 e - / 2 per frame)
it also acts as an important antioxidant that may help support the body against free radicals as well as support the recycling of vitamins E and C
It also prevents cellular damage from these free radicals, which are introduced in our bodies through air pollution, cigarettes, poor diet, industrial chemicals, etc
