Ascorbate oxidation by iron, copper and reactive oxygen species: review, model development, and derivation of key rate constants

Abstract Ascorbic acid is among the most abundant antioxidants in the lung, where it likely plays a key role in the mechanism by which particulate air pollution initiates a biological response. Because ascorbic acid is a highly redox active species, it engages in a far more complex web of reactions...
