Dopamine Promotes Ascorbate Release from Retinal Neurons: Role of D

Ascorbate, the reduced form of vitamin C, is highly concentrated in the central nervous system (CNS), including the retina, where it plays important physiological functions. In the CNS, the plasma membrane transporter sodium vitamin C co-transporter 2 (SVCT2) is responsible for ascorbate transport in neurons. The neurotransmitter dopamine (DA), acting through D
