Abstract
Ascorbic acid (AA) is significant in protecting the brain from further damage and maintaining brain homeostasis after ischemia stroke (IS); however, the dynamic change of cerebral AA content after different degrees of ischemic stroke is still unclear. Herein, carboxylated single-walled carbon nanotube (CNT-COOH)- and polyethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT)-modified carbon fiber microelectrodes (CFEs) were proposed to detect in situ cerebral AA with sensitivity, selectivity, and stability. Under differential pulse voltammetry scanning, the CFE/CNT-COOH/PEDOT gave a ratiometric, electrochemically responsive signal. The internal standard peak at -310 mV was from the reversible peak of O2 reduction and the deprotonation and protonation of quinone groups, while AA was oxidized at -70 mV. In vivo experimental results indicated that the cerebral AA level gradually increased with the ischemic time increasing in different middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model mice. This work implies that the increasing cerebral AA level may be highly related to the glutamate excitotoxicity and ROS-led cell apoptosis and paves a new way for further understanding the release and metabolic mechanisms of AA during ischemia reperfusion and IS.

Abstract
Ascorbic acid (AA), a major antioxidant in the central nervous system (CNS), is involved in withstanding oxidative stress that plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Exploring the AA disturbance in the process of PD is of great value in understanding the molecular mechanism of PD. Herein, by virtue of a carbon fiber electrode (CFE) as a matric electrode, a three-step electrochemical process for tailoring oxygen-containing groups on graphene was well designed: potentiostatic deposition was carried out to fabricate graphene oxide on CFE, electrochemical reduction that assisted in removing the epoxy groups accelerated the electron transfer kinetics of AA oxidation, and electrochemical oxidation that increased the content of the carbonyl group (C═O) generated an inner-reference signal. The mechanism was solidified by ab initio calculations by comparing AA absorption on defected models of graphene functionalized with different oxygen groups including carboxyl, hydroxyl, epoxy, and carbonyl. It was found that epoxy groups would hinder the physical absorption of AA onto graphene, while other functional groups would be beneficial to it. Biocompatible polyethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT) was further rationally assembled to improve the antifouling property of graphene. As a result, a new platform for ratiometric electrochemical measurements of AA with high sensitivity, excellent selectivity, and reproducibility was established. In vivo determination of AA levels in different regions of living mouse brains by the proposed method demonstrated that AA decreased remarkably in the hippocampus and cortex of a subacute PD mouse than those of a normal mouse.
