The ascorbic acid content of white blood cells and platelets is a good index of the tissue levels of ascorbic acid. The levels of ascorbic acid in normal persons range from 24-38 mg/100g, after feeding individuals on vitamin C deficient diet for 121 days, the value becomes zero. Determination of ascorbic acid content of white blood cells thus offers a highly sensitive index of the ascorbic acid nutrition of the individuals.
