Glutathione content of human skin carcinomas.
Glutathione has important functions in the process leading to the complete neoplastic transformation of the primary cells in experimental carcinogenesis. This study was made to determine the tissue glutathione levels in the human skin carcinomas. The statistical average of glutathione values were measured by the DTNB method as 0.915 +/- 0.073 mg/g wet weight in test group and 0.126 +/- 0.008 mg/g wet weight in control group.
