Developmental pattern of adrenal ascorbic acid in the rat.
Adrenal ascorbic acid was determined in nonstressed, newborn rats. The maturational pattern of the acid consists of high resting levels early in development, a marked decrease during a period between 8 and 12 days, and a subsequent return to high levels. The onset of the maturational pattern is accelerated by previous manipulation of the newborn rat.
