Platelet activation occurs upon ischemia/reperfusion and is related to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during this process. Vitamin C (VC) is a powerful antioxidant. VC scavenges ROS, reduces platelet activation, and attenuates reperfusion injury. However, the effects of VC on platelets undergoing hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) remain unclear.
