Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), glutathione S-transferase (GSH-Tr) and glutathione reductase (GSSG-Rx) activities have been determined in normal and neoplastic human breast tissues. Large interindividual variations in the activities of all enzymes tested were found in both tumor and non-tumor specimens. In general a significant increase in the activities of the 3 enzymes was found in tumors, whereas in fibroadenoma they were as high as in healthy tissues. When a comparison was made between normal and neoplastic tissues of the same individual, GSH-Tr and GSSG-Rx activities were found to be higher in 15 and 11 cases, respectively, out of 17. GSG-Px activity was higher in all cases. From measurement of GSG-Px activity with both H202 and cumene hydroperoxide, it was deduced that human breast contains only the selenium-dependent form.
