Abstract

Vitamin C is an essential micronutrient, necessary for various biochemical and physiological processes in the body. Vitamin C, which is found in many fruits and vegetables, cannot be synthesized in the human body, so it must be taken from the outside. Both reduced form L-ascorbic acid and the oxidized form of L-dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) maintain vitamin C activity. Ascorbic acid is transported into the cell via sodium-dependent vitamin C transporters (SVCTs), while DHA is transported through the glucose transporters family (GLUTs). Its concentration in plasma after oral intake of vitamin C is tightly controlled by transporters necessary to enter the cell and intracellular organelles. Vitamin C plays an important role in a number of metabolic functions, such as the conversion of tryptophan to the neurotransmitter serotonin, folic acid activation, and the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids. In addition to being a cofactor of the biosynthetic and gene regulating enzyme family, it also protects against many diseases by reducing the free radical damage of the body through its strong antioxidant activity. Recent studies have focused on the possible new therapeutic effects of vitamin C on many chronic diseases. In this review, the mechanisms of the effect of adequate vitamin C intake to maintain normal body function, to help treat some diseases and vitamin C deficiency in increasing the risk of various diseases are discussed.

Özet

Vitamin C, vücuttaki çeşitli biyokimyasal ve fizyolojik süreçler için gerekli olan esansiyel bir mikrobesin ögesidir. Birçok meyve vesebzede bulunan vitamin C, insan vücudunda sentezlenemediğinden dışarıdan diyetle alınması gerekmektedir. İndirgenmiş form olanL-askorbik asit ve yükseltgenmiş form olan L-dehidroaskorbik asit (DHA)’in, her ikisi de vitamin C aktivitesini korumaktadır. Askorbikasit, sodyum bağımlı vitamin C taşıyıcıları (SVCT'ler) aracılığıyla hücreye taşınırken, DHA glikoz taşıyıcı ailesi (GLUT'lar) yoluylataşınır. Vitamin C’nin oral alımından sonra plazmadaki konsantrasyonu, hücreye ve hücre içi organellere girmek için gerekli olantaşıyıcılar tarafından sıkı bir şekilde kontrol edilmektedir. Vitamin C, triptofanın nörotransmitter olan serotonine dönüşümü, folik asitaktivasyonu ve kolesterolün safra asitlerine dönüşümü gibi bir dizi metabolik fonksiyonda önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Biyosentetikve gen düzenleyici enzim ailesinin bir kofaktörü olmasının yanı sıra güçlü antioksidan aktivitesi sayesinde vücudun serbest radikalhasarını azaltarak çoğu hastalığa karşı da koruyucu etki göstermektedir. Son yıllarda yapılan araştırmalar, birçok kronik hastalık üzerinevitamin C’nin olası yeni terapötik etkilerine odaklanmıştır. Bu derlemede yeterli miktarda vitamin C alımının normal vücutfonksiyonlarının sürdürülmesine, bazı hastalıklarda tedaviye yardımcı olmasına ve eksikliğinin çeşitli hastalık risklerini artırmasınayönelik etki mekanizmalarına değinilmiştir.
