The correlation between the content of primary molecular product of free radical fat acyls oxidation--hydrolipid peroxidation and ascorbic acid amount in guinea-pig tissue was presented by means of polarographic method. The data obtained led to the following conclusion: the importance of ascorbic acid as prooxidant in vivo is rather great and its deficiency is the reason for an increase of its content in the primary products of lipid free radical oxidation, which probably plays the main role in C-avitaminosis pathogenesis.
