Effects of vitamin C on apoptosis in diabetic rats. Intranucleosomal DNA fragmentation was labeled using the Apoptosis detection system after 16 weeks of vitamin C treatment, as described in Materials and Methods. D, diabetic rats (A); D + VC, diabetic rats treated with vitamin C (B). Magnification, × 100. Apoptosis positive cells were counted in sixconsecutive interstitial fields under the microscope and expressed as the mean numbers of positive cells of the interstitial field (C). Values are means ± SD. D, diabetic rats; D + VC, diabetic rats treated with vitamin C. *p < 0.05 compared with D.
