Aim: There is growing interest in pharmacologic ascorbate (Asc) and its therapeutic properties (Levine et al. Adv Nutr 2011;2:78). W e examined cell viability, histone deacetylase (HDAC) expression, and related protein modifications in cancer versus non- cancer colon epithelial cells following exposure to Asc.
Methods: MTT assays were conducted in...
