Estimation of Sugar Content, Lipid Peroxidase and Glutathione in Different Tumor Tissues

Introduction: A mass or cluster of cells formed due to lack of contact inhibition property and cell losing its property of division, is termed as tumor (Benign tumor), another form of tumor is malignant tumor (cancer) due to the cause of metastasis, it spread widely throughout the body and leads to the cancer. Several studies have been done in order to know the effect of tumor on the biochemistry of cells such as sugar level, lipid peroxidase content and glutathione level in tumor tissue. The current review explores the studies done to analyze these three parameters, i. e. ; sugar level estimation, lipid peroxidase analysis, and glutathione analysis in different tumor tissues to study how they are affected by the tumor condition. Method: Extensive electronic search was done to select relevant studies and analyzed and summarized here. Result: The studies done have successfully established the change in the levels of these parameters in tumor condition that throw light into the cellular damage caused by tumor.
