Wounds were inflicted into the tibia of adult female guinea pigs in varying stages of ascorbic acid deficiency. Using an intracardiac-puncture technique, blood was drawn from control and deficient animals, then analyzed. After wounding, ascorbic acid-serum levels of deficient animals fell at a less accelerated rate than before wounding or leveled off. Ascorbic acid-serum levels of control animals maintained pretest levels. The study needs further investigation before conclusions can be presented.
