intestinal anastomotic resistance. Rev Col Bras Cir. 2011 Feb;38(1):54-58.

The rats that received vitamin C had higher anastomotic bursting pressure in
the fifth, seventh and 28th postoperative days. The same happened with the
bursting pressures of intact jejunal segments.

Two of the studies show that prophylactic treatment with adjuvant vitamin C
and beta-blockers is more effective than beta-blocker therapy alone. The
quality of these studies was assessed using a Jadad scor ing system, which
identified four of the studies to be of low and one to be of high
methodological quality.

status is related to proinflammatory responses and impaired vascular
endothelial function in healthy, college-aged lean and obese men. J Am Diet
Assoc. 2011 May;111(5):737-43. PubMed PMID: 21515122

These data suggest that low vitamin C status is associated with
proinflammatory responses and impaired vascula r function in lean and obese
men.

Gliadin-challenge induced IL-15 production in biopsies from treated CD
patients, while the addition of ascorbat e to culture medium completely
inhibited IL-15 production.
