Fig. 1 γ-Glutamylcysteine synthetase (γ-GCS) and glutathione reductase (GR) activities in normal uroepithelium and TCC. γ-GCS and GR activities are presented as individual values in non-tumour and tumour tissue (A and B, respectively) as well as a percentage of activities (mean±SD) measured in normal uroepithelium in groups of patients divided according to tumour grade and invasiveness (C and D, respectively). *p<0.05.

Fig. 3 Immunoblot analysis of glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) in normal bladder uroepithelium (U) and tumour tissue (T) of patients with TCC. Proteins (60μg) were resolved by SDS/PAGE and analyzed with antisera against class π. Lanes M1 (500ng), M2 (250ng), and M3 (50ng) contain purified human placental GSTP1.
