In addition, ascorbic acid converts (reversibly) to DHA and from that compound non-reversibly to 2,3-diketogulonate and then oxalate. These three metabolites are also excreted via urine. During times of low dietary intake, vitamin C is reabsorbed by the kidneys rather than excreted. This salvage process delays onset of deficiency. Humans are better than guinea pigs at converting DHA back to ascorbate, and thus take much longer to become vitamin C deficient.<sup id="cite_ref-PKIN2020VitC_8-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-PKIN2020VitC-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Linster2007_59-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Linster2007-59"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>59<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Synthesis">Synthesis</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Vitamin_C&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: Synthesis"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Most animals and plants are able to synthesize vitamin C through a sequence of <a href="/wiki/Enzyme" title="Enzyme">enzyme</a>-driven steps, which convert <a href="/wiki/Monosaccharides" class="mw-redirect" title="Monosaccharides">monosaccharides</a> to vitamin C.
