Biosynthesis of ascorbic acid in chick embryos |
|
| Authors: | M S Yew |
| Abstract: | Biosynthesis of ascorbic acid was found in the kidneys (mesonephros and metanephros) of the chick embryo as well as in the yolk sac membrane. The activity of L-gulonolactone oxidase in the yolk sac membrane suggested that it was the major source of ascorbic acid in the chick embryo. |
