abstract

abstract background: the chemotherapeutic agents used for treatment of breast cancer are all shown to increase free oxygen radicals and generation of reactive oxygen species. the aim of this study was to evaluate effect of chemotherapy on plasma selenium (se) concentration and glutathione peroxidase (gpx) activity in breast cancer patients. materials and methods: seventeen women in stage ii and iii breast cancer were randomly selected from their population. plasma se was measured with graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy and gpx activity in erythrocyte by using spectrophotometric at baseline (before chemotherapy) and after chemotherapy. normally distributed data was expressed as mean ± standard deviation. statistical analysis was performed using paired t-test. results: plasma se concentration before and after chemotherapy was in normal range and no statistically difference was observed (156.23±25 μg/l vs. 145.23±23 μg/l respectively). after chemotherapy, there was a significant (p<0.05) higher erythrocyte gpx activity, as compared to initial activity at baseline. (22.28±4 u/grhb vs. 26.39± 4 u/grhb respectively). conclusion: this study indicates that sufficient se could increase gpx activity with have a protective effect against oxidative damages.

A comparative study of selenium concentration and glutathione peroxidase activity in normal and breast cancer patients.

OBJECTIVE The present study was undertaken to compare plasma Se values and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity in normal and breast cancer patients. DESIGN In a case-control study, forty-five breast cancer patients and the same number of healthy women were randomly selected from their population. Se was measured in plasma by atomic absorption spectrophotometry and GPX activity in erythrocyt...

Alterations in serum levels of trace element in patients with breast cancer before and after chemotherapy

Background: Breast cancer is the most common serious disease around the world. The trace elements have a vital role in the metabolism and chemotherapy may change the level of metal ions. Due to the ambiguity of the existence in this regard, the study examined the trace element serum levels in women with breast cancer before and after chemotherapy . Methods: Sixty patients were studied undergoi...

Serum Levels of Zinc, Copper, Selenium and Glutathione Peroxidase in Different Groups of Colorectal Cancer Patients

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is considered the fourth type of cancer that causes death in the world. Changes in levels of Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), and Selenium (Se) as well as low glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity can lead to CRC and this study was aimed to evaluate their possible use as diagnostic markers. Methods: CRC patients (n=90) were divided into three groups; newly diagnosed,...

Determination of selenium concentration and glutathione peroxidase activity in plasma and erythrocytes.

We determined selenium concentrations and activities of the selenoenzyme, glutathione peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.9), in the plasma and erythrocytes of 38 apparently healthy women. We determined selenium concentrations directly by polarized Zeeman-effect flameless atomic absorption spectroscopy. Within-run precision studies for the assays gave CVs of 5.6% for a mean erythrocyte selenium concentration...

Selenium supplementation of Chinese women with habitually low selenium intake increases plasma selenium, plasma glutathione peroxidase activity, and milk selenium, but not milk glutathione peroxidase activity.

Twenty-one pregnant women living in Xichang County, China, a selenium-deficient area, were divided into two groups and given either a placebo (n = 10) as yeast or selenium-enriched yeast tablets (n = 11) to provide 100 microg selenium per day. This supplementation was begun the last trimester of pregnancy and continued for 3 months after parturition. Plasma selenium levels and glutathione perox...

Blood selenium concentrations and glutathione peroxidase activity.

Selenium concentrations in children and teenagers without a metabolic disorder eating normal diets (group 1), and young patients with classical phenylketonuria and milder forms of hyperphenylalaninaemia being treated with a diet low in natural protein (group 2) were investigated. There was a strong correlation between blood selenium concentration and age in children in group 1 up to 10 years of...
