(11) The rationale for investigating D-isoascorbic acid, an isomer of L-ascorbic acid which has limited antiscorbutic activity, is discussed.
(12) Given the many extra-antiscorbutic functions of the vitamin, the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) should not just prevent deficiency disease but should aim at providing sufficient amounts for all vitamin C-dependent functions to operate at full capacity.
(13) Examination of the physiological activity of flavonoids in relation to their antiscorbutic properties shows that some of these compounds, the flavan-3-ols, have a particular nutritional impact and consequently should be distinguished from the rest of the flavonoids and polyphenols.
(14) Tissue saturation with AA would appear to provide a good insurance against defects in these extra-antiscorbutic areas.
Curing

() p. a. & vb. n. of Cure.
Example Sentences:
(1) In all cases the polyarthritis is cured by anti-inflammatory treatment in 1-6 months.

(6) Since the plasmid-cured strains did not contain DNA sequences homologous to plasmid DNA, the gene for the free-inclusion protein must be encoded in the chromosome.
(7) In Stage I, seven relapses (relapse rate 6%) occurred after irradiation; three of them were cured with second-line therapies.
(8) Although patients treated with postoperative radiation therapy showed significantly extended survival rates as compared to those receiving surgical resection alone, the glioblastoma recurred within a 2cm margin of the primary site in more than 90% of the patients and conventional external radiation therapy with a doses of 50-60 Gy did not result in local cure.
(9) Percutaneous tenotomy performed only in patients recurring after temporary cure, drops the rate of recurrences to 13%.
(10) Long-term health conditions cannot be 'cured' – interventions are themselves long-term – taking place throughout the life of a patient.
(11) These alterations were not dependent on the prophage integration prior to curing, and no phage DNA was detected in cured cells by blot hybridisation.
(12) About 10% of the patients treated had “complete remission”, with no detectable cancer remaining - considered a cure if the patient is still cancer-free five years after diagnosis.
(13) Fifteen apparently normal patients who had been cured of cryptococcosis were found, as a group, to have impaired responsiveness to skin testing with cryptococcin and mumps, minimal leukocyte migration inhibition when stimulated with cryptococcin or C. neoformans, but normal group responses to cryptococcin in Cryptococcus-induced lymphocyte transformation.
(14) Ultimately, prevention is a better approach than cure.
