Serum and RBCs Glutathione Reductase (GSSG-Red) Activity in Breast Tumors of Iraqi Women

Abstract

Breast tumor patients generally have more oxidative stress than normal
females. This was clear from non significant (P>0.05) decrease in RBCs GSSG-Red
but there was significant decrease (P<0.05) in serum GSSG-Red activity. The study
had found that free radicals in malignant breast tumors were higher than benign
tumors, therefore the activity of GSSG- Red might be used as markers for prognosis
of the disease through previouse studies and present study.
