title: [Significance of the ascorbic acid test in the determination of ovulation in sterility patients].
abstract: The study is engaged with the possibility to use ascorbic acid value for better determination of ovulation in sterile patients. We investigated the acid excretion in 8-hour-urinary-portions of 21 patients following daily application of 600 mg ascorbic acid from the 4th to the 20th day of menstrual cycla. Comparing the results to morning temperature, spin--and fern phenomenon of the cervical mucos and biopsy of the endometrium we found the excretion minimum in 61,9% 2 till 3 days before rise of the morning temperature and at the end of the praeovulatory phase. Correlation between ascorbic acid metabolism and ovulation are under discussion.
