ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

	lack of Svct2, and the resulting low vitamin C levels, results in fetal death and, in SVCT2(-/-) mice that survive the gestation period, in oxidative stress and cell death
	mice that lack the Svct2 die at birth, despite the ability to synthesize their own ASC by embryonic day 15
