Rates of GTN denitration of aortic rings from WT, ascorbate-supplemented (asc-suppl.) and ascorbate-deficient (asc-def.) Gulo^(-/-) mice

Genotype	1,2-GDN	1,3-GDN
	(pmol·min−1·g−1)
WT	0.77 ± 0.177	0.05 ± 0.025
Gulo(-/-), asc-suppl.	0.66 ± 0.162	0.03 ± 0.044
Gulo(-/-), asc-def.	0.17 ± 0.0571,2	0.05 ± 0.026

Data are mean values ± SEM of four animals.

¹P < 0.05 compared with WT animals.

²P < 0.05 compared with ascorbate-supplemented mice (anova).

asc, ascorbate.
