EVALUATION OF ASCORBIC ACID LEVELS IN WAR WOUNDED PATIENTS

Abstract

This investigation determined that vitamin C intake of C.W. was higher than O.P. , S. C. and C. Statistically, there was a significant difference between C.W. and C. Blood ascorbic acid levels of O.P. and S.C. were lower than C.W. and C. , a significant difference was observed. Urinary vitamin C in all groups was lower than controls and this indicates that even though vitamin C intake was high, the demand for vitamin C was increased.
