Conclusion of this study

However, there was a significant beneficial effect of ascorbic acid on the FMD change over time after smoking. After smoking, the FMD dropped to less than half of the baseline value. Thereafter in the placebo group, FMD increased to 70% of baseline value in 90 minutes, but in the ascorbic acid group the FMD increased to 70% of baseline value in 46 minutes. Oral administration of ascorbic acid attenuates endothelial dysfunction after short-term cigarette smoking by shortening its duration.
