紋白蝶とキャベツと胃潰瘍１
ビタミンCが多いキャベツは大根と野菜の双璧。胃潰瘍に効能のあるビタミンUも豊富だ。ビタミンCは体内で様々な化学反応に関与し、多様な働き、機能を果たす。
体を構成する重要なたんぱく質であるコラーゲンの生成に働く。コラーゲンは身体を作る全たんぱく質の3分の1を占め、細胞と細胞をつなぐ接着剤のような働きをし、丈夫な血管や筋肉、皮膚などの結合組織を作る。
酸化を防ぎ、老化や動脈硬化を予防する。特にビタミンEとともに働くことで相乗効果があるとされ、LDL（いわゆる悪玉）コレステロールの酸化を抑えて心臓血管系の疾患を予防する。
副腎皮質ホルモンや副腎髄質ホルモンが作られるとき、ビタミンCが大量に消費される。副腎は腎臓の隣にある器官で、多種のホルモンを分泌する。大きく2層構造をしており、外側を副腎皮質、内側を副腎髄質と呼ぶ。種々のホルモン分泌によって、血圧や血糖値を上昇させ、ストレスに対抗する。また、鉄を吸収しやすい形に変化させることで吸収を促進させる。それに、紫外線の刺激を受けると、チロシンというアミノ酸がチロシナーゼという酵素の働きを受けてメラニンという黒い色素になるが、ビタミンCはチロシナーゼの働きを阻害して、メラニン色素の沈着（しみ）を防ぐとされている。
Crimson butterfly, cabbage, and stomach ulcer 1
Cabbage, which is high in vitamin C, is a great combination of radish and vegetables. It is also rich in vitamin U, which is effective against stomach ulcers. Vitamin C is involved in various chemical reactions in the body and performs a variety of functions.
Works in the production of collagen, an important protein that makes up the body. Collagen makes up one-third of all the proteins that make up the body, and acts like a glue that connects cells, creating strong connective tissues such as blood vessels, muscles, and skin.
Prevents oxidation and prevents aging and arteriosclerosis. In particular, it is said to have a synergistic effect when working with vitamin E, suppressing the oxidation of LDL (so-called bad) cholesterol and preventing cardiovascular diseases.
A large amount of vitamin C is consumed when adrenal cortical hormones and adrenal medullary hormones are produced. The adrenal glands are organs located next to the kidneys that secrete a variety of hormones. It has a two-layered structure, with the outer layer called the adrenal cortex and the inner layer called the adrenal medulla. It counteracts stress by increasing blood pressure and blood sugar levels by secreting various hormones. It also promotes absorption by changing iron into a form that is easier to absorb. In addition, when stimulated by ultraviolet rays, the amino acid tyrosine undergoes the action of an enzyme called tyrosinase and becomes a black pigment called melanin. Vitamin C inhibits the action of tyrosinase and prevents the deposition of melanin pigment (stains). has been done.
