The elastic characteristics of the vascular system are determined by the hydroxyproline constituants, which are dependent upon ascorbate reserves during formation of the fiberous tissues.

• The elastic characteristics of the vascular system are determined by the hydroxyproline constituants, which are dependent upon ascorbate reserves during formation of the fiberous tissues.

The first tissue reaction to toxicants is hydroxylation of the chemical compounds involved. The mixed function oxidases require ascorbate in the oxidation-reduction process involved.
