Abstract
We studied the effect of L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (P-Asc), a long-acting phosphate derivative of L-ascorbic acid, on the production and secretion of type I and type III collagen peptides in cultured rabbit keratocytes using immunohistochemistry and enzyme immunoassay. P-Asc enhanced production and secretion of these collagen peptides. Our observations support a therapeutic role for P-Asc in the repair of corneal stromal damage such as caused by corneal chemical burn.
