Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: L-ascorbic acid is an essential part of the human diet and has been associated with a wide range of chronic complex diseases, including cardiovascular outcomes. To date, there are no confirmed genetic correlates of circulating concentrations of L-ascorbic acid. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to confirm the existence of an association between common variation at the SLC23A1 gene locus and circulating...
