Brief Summary: Several studies have reported that diabetic subjects have lower plasma vitamin C concentrations than non-diabetic subjects Although urinary vitamin C loss in diabetic subjects was reported to be increased in two studies these are difficult to interpret due to lack of controlled vitamin C intake inadequate sampling lack of control subjects or methodology uncertainties in vitamin C assay and sample processing Consequently it is unclear whether diabetic subjects truly have both low plasma and high urine vitamin C concentrations We propose that low plasma vitamin C concentrations in diabetic subjects are due in part to inappropriate renal loss of vitamin C in these subjects but not in healthy controls We will study nondiabetic controls and cohorts with diabetes Vitamin C concentrations in plasma RBCs and urine will be measured in outpatients In those willing to be admitted to the Clinical Center we will measure vitamin C pharmacokinetics to determine the relative bioavailability for vitamin C in individuals with and without abnormal urinary loss of vitamin C or renal leak Single nucleotide polymorphisms SNPs will be determined in genomic DNA responsible for the two proteins mediating sodium dependent vitamin C transport SVCT1 and SVCT2 We will also explore mechanisms underlying abnormal urinary vitamin C loss
