- Abstract
Ischemia is one of the most common injuries that is usually caused by reduced blood flow to the tissues. Following this incident, the tissue becomes deficient in oxygen and nutrients, and energy production in the affected cells stops, eventually leading to cell damage, but there is also evidence that restoring blood flow to ischemic tissues can lead to extra tissue damage known as Ischemia Reperfusion Injury (IRI). In this study, we reviewed the relationship between vitamin C intake and ischemia/reperfusion injury to investigate the relationship between vitamin C intake and ischemia/reperfusion injury. The keywords "Vitamin C" or "Ascorbic Acid" and "Ischemic" or "Ischemia" and "Reperfusion" were used in this search. The results show that vitamin C has a positive effect on ischemia treatment in the renal tissue, brain, liver, intestine, lung, ovary, pancreas, and skin.
