Acute vitamin C may improve insulin sensitivity and FMD; hypothesis-generating for ROS modulation in smokers and IGT, needs RCT confirmation.
Does vitamin C infusion improve insulin sensitivity and endothelial function in smokers and nonsmokers with impaired glucose tolerance?
Vitamin C infusion improves both insulin sensitivity and endothelial function in smokers and individuals with impaired glucose tolerance, highlighting the role of reactive oxygen species in these conditions.
