Abstract：
:The distribution pattern of ascorbic acid in the endocrine organs and/or tissues was investigated during various sexual states of female rats to demonstrate a correlation between ascorbic acid concentration and sex hormone activity. The concentration of ascorbic acid was estimated in the plasma, liver, pancreas, thyroid, ovary, adrenal and pituitary of contraceptive steroid treated, bilaterally ovariectomized, sham-operated and normal control animals at four different phases of estrous cycle to delineate a relationship between the level of ascorbic acid in different organs/tissues at various sex hormonal states. Statistically significant changes were observed in the concentration of ascorbic acid in different endocrine organs/tissues following contraceptive steroid treatment, ovariectomy and during the estrous phases. Our results suggest that the concentration of ascorbic acid in the endocrine organs and/or tissues varies during different sexual states of rat.
