INVESTİGATION OF AVERAGE VALUES OF PROLIDASE, ADENOZIN DEAMINASE, GLUTATHIONE S-TRANSFERASE AND GLUTATHIONE REDUCTASE ENZYMES IN PANCREAS CANCERS

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between enzymatic antioxidants such as glutathione reductase and glutathione s-transferase and prolidase and adenosine deaminase in patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Prolidase, adenosine deaminase, glutathione s-transferase and glutathione reductase activities were determined spectrophotometrically in blood sera collected from patients and healthy control subjects included in the study. In patients with pancreatic cancer, the mean value of glutathione reductase and glutathione s-transferase enzymes decreased, while the mean value of prolidase, and adenosine deaminase, enzyme activities increased (p
