In an experiment on human scurvy conducted in 1940, reduced levels of vitamin C in platelets and white cells were recorded at three months, in the absence of clinical signs of scurvy, when a diet with no vitamin C was taken. At this time an experimental wound healed rapidly and normally. Skin dryness with hyperkeratosis developed in four months (the earliest clinical sign) and skin petechiae a month later. At six months a further experimental wound failed to heal. During this experiment it was noted that gum lesions did not occur in the volunteers whose mouths were previously healthy.

80 Personal communication. Professor Christopher Bates, Honorary Senior Scientist, Medical Research Council, Human Nutrition Research, University of Cambridge. 2006. The protein that makes scars is continually remodelled in health and needs vitamin C as a building block. Marginal vitamin C deficiency is likely to affect the tissue remodelling that occurs in ‘old scars’ at a relatively early stage of vitamin C deficiency. The fact that the quartet was undersupplied with food energy would also affect the strength of their wounds.
