Low ascorbate status in the Masai of Kenya

J. D. Gatenby Davies M.B., B.S.1 and Janet Newson B.A., D.Phil.1

1 From the Wellcome Trust Research Laboratories, P.O. Box 43640, Nairobi, Kenya

Masai on a traditional diet showed significantly lower plasma and leukocyte ascorbate levels than a comparable nonpastoral group of Bantu living on a mixed diet in the same area. Masai had lower red cell folate levels, and higher serum B12 and total protein levels. Neither scurvy nor anemia was present.
