摘要
The content of glutathione and glutathione-S-transferase activity in erythrocytes are determined in patients with testicular and ovarian cancer and melanoma before and after chemotherapy. The initial levels of glutathione and glutathione-S-transferase activity in patients susceptible to drug therapy are substantially lower than in drug-resistant patients. Complex platinum-based chemotherapy increases the content of glutathione and inhibits glutathione-S-transferase in patients with drug-sensitive tumors; in patients resistant to chemotherapy, the content of glutathione decreases, while glutathione-S-transferase activity remains practically unchanged. High levels of glutathione and glutathione-S-transferase activity in tumor patients can be used as the measure and prognostic criteria of drug resistance.
