Abstract excerpt
One of the side effects of cisplatin therapy in malignant neoplasms is ototoxicity. This effect shows a wide inter-individual range which is more variable than the pharmacokinetic parameters. Oxidative stress has been implicated in cisplatin ototoxicity. The glutathione S-transferase (GST) supergene family encodes isoenzymes that appear to be critical in protection against oxidative stress. Certain GST loci are...
