Estimation of total L-fucose, Glutathion, te stosterone and some trace elements levels in serum of prostate cancer

Abstract

In this study the levels of L-fucose, Glutathion, testosterone and some trace elements in sera of patients with prostate cancer and control group were estimated for 30 samples of prostate cancer and 25 samples of control groups. The results showed there was a significant increase in the level of total L-fucose at (p<0.001) for blood serum of patients with prostate cancer compared with their levels in control group, while there were a significant decrease in testosterone and Glutathion at (P ≤ 0.01) and (P ≤ 0.05) respectively for blood serum of patients with prostate cancer compared with their level in control group. Trace elements there was a significant decrease in the level of selenium at (p<0.001) and a significant increase in Cadmium and Zinc at (P ≤ 0.05) and (P ≤ 0.01) respectively for blood serum of patients with prostate cancer compared with their level in control group. The smoking factor at prostate cancer showed a significant decrease in glutathion and Zinc at (P ≤ 0.001) while the results showed a significant increase in L-fucose and Cadmium at (P ≤ 0.001) and (P ≤ 0.05) respectively. The correlations between all parameters above for patients and control group and the correlation of all parameters with age has been obtained.
