Glutathione: Postoperative Study in Breast Carcinoma
Abstract: Breast cancer represents a significant problem in the world. Glutathione a tripeptide is found in all mammalian tissues. Thus any change in its synthesis or utilization can profoundly influence the redox status of cells. In this study blood sample was collected from 60 FNAC confirmed breast cancer patients (preoperative and postoperative three months) and 30 normal healthy controls for the estimation of glutathione. There was significant increase in glutathione in …

Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) in Breast Carcinoma
Abstract: Breast cancer is the most alarming problem of the current time. Nitric oxide, a free radical gas is synthesized by isoenzymes called nitric oxide synthase. Nitric oxide synthase consists of three isoforms; Nitric oxide produced is cytotoxic which is known to inhibit the DNA synthesis causing its damage. Keeping this in mind, nitric oxide synthase was determined in breast cancer and normal breast tissue. For this tissue from 60 breast …

Brief Review on Novel Technology in Breast Cancer Chemotherapy
Abstract: Breast cancer is cancer that develops from breast tissue. Breast cells contain receptors for the two types of hormones estrogen and progesterone. They also contain receptors for a protein called HER2, which induce normal cell growth. Around two out of three women with breast cancer have cells that bear receptors for estrogen and progesterone, and just about 20–30% of breast cancers have too many HER2 receptors. Exploitation chemotherapy to treat …
