摘要
Glutathione content, the activity of glutathione-dependent enzymes (glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione S-transferase), and also SOD (superoxide dismutase) and catalase were studied in human malignant tumors (uterus, breast, and ovaries) and normal tissues. Glutathione level and the activity of glutathione-dependent enzymes were 2-3 times higher in the malignant tumors than in normal tissues. A negative correlation between the level of glutathione and glutathione-dependent enzymes (glutathione peroxidase and glutathione S-transferase) in tumors and the efficacy of postoperative chemotherapy may characterize the degree of tumor resistance to chemotherapy and therefore may have prognostic value. Low SOD and catalase activity and high activity of glutathione-dependent enzymes in tumors suggest that glutathione peroxidase and glutathione S-transferase play a major role in peroxide utilization in malignant tumors.
