High impact information on DEHYDROASCORBIC ACID

Highly purified bovine liver protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) reacted directly with DHA and GSH to catalyze the reduction of DHA to ascorbic acid [1].
In vitro crosslinking of alpha-crystallin and MP26 of bovine lens membranes was observed in presence of two degradation products of ascorbic acid (ASA), dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) and threose [2].
