Sent to Health Experts August 01, 2005 1:06 p.m.

I have read a research abstract. In the measurement of ascorbic acid...it used: 0.5 mH...and applied it.
What does mH stand for? conversion to millimeters/ or teaspoons?..is this possible?

It stands for milliHenry - a unit of electrical inductance. It has
nothing at all to do with biochemistry. That presents a problem.

My best guess is that the symbol was or should have been mM,
used frequently in biomedical literature, standing for millimolar.
(Actually, this is poor practice - the corrent symbol is mmol/L)

Can you confirm the identity of the symbol or provide a link to
the article?
