VitC exposure increased intracellular RBC ascorbate concentrations during storage. RBCs supplemented with reduced VitC (Lo/Hi) or oxidized VitC (DHA) had significantly higher intracellular levels of VitC compared to saline controls. Data are significant for Lo VitC on Days 42 and 56, for Hi VitC on Days 7, 21, 42, and 56, and for DHA on Day 7. (N = 5/group, p < 0.05).
