Healthy camels (Camelus dromedaris) and those naturally infected with trypanosomiasis, sarcoptic mange, and helminthiasis were compared as to ascorbic acid (vitamin C) contents of red blood cells, white blood cells, whole blood, plasma, and liver. The camels were kept under natural grazing conditions in Sudan. Reduced levels of vitamin C were found in camels with parasite infections, especially in animals with trypanosomiasis. It is suggested that the low vitamin C status in infected camels is caused by increased utilization and/or decreased synthesis of vitamin C.

Colostrum or milk samples from 10 sows and blood plasma samples from 68 piglets were taken between 0 and 28 d after farrowing and analyzed for ascorbic acid and dehydroascorbic acid by high-performance liquid chromatography with electro-chemical detector. Ascorbic acid content of colostrum (265.0 μm mL−1) was more than twice that of subsequently produced milk (100.0 μg mL−1) at 7 d of age. Ascorbic acid content of blood plasma of piglets at birth after uptake of colostrum was 13.1 μg mL−1, which slowly declined during the first 28 d of age to 3.2 μg mL−1. The dehydroascorbic acid concentration in the plasma of piglets ranged from 3.0 μg mL−1 to 3.9 μg mL−1from 7 d to 28 d of age. There was a significant positive correlation between piglet plasma ascorbic acid and maternal milk ascorbic acid concentration. Key words: Ascorbic acid, dehydroascorbic acid, colostrum

AbstractCalcium (Ca) deficiency in cabbage plants induces oxidative damage, hampering growth and decreasing quality, however, it is hypothesized that silicon (Si) added to the nutrient solution may alleviate crop losses. Therefore, this study aims at evaluating whether silicon supplied in the nutrient solution reduces, in fact, the calcium deficiency effects on cabbage plants. In a greenhouse, cabbage plants were grown using nutrient solutions with Ca sufficiency and Ca deficiency (5 mM) without and with added silicon (2.5 mM), arranged as a 2 × 2 factorial in randomized blocks, with five replications. At 91 days after transplanting, the plants were harvested for biological evaluations. In the treatment without added Si, Ca deficiency promoted oxidative stress, low antioxidant content, decreased dry matter, and lower quality leaf. On the other hand, added Si attenuated Ca deficiency in cabbage by decreasing cell extravasation while increasing both ascorbic acid content and fresh and dry matter, providing firmer leaves due to diminished leaf water loss after harvesting. We highlighted the agronomic importance of Si added to the nutrient solution, especially in crops at risk of Ca deficiency.
