Abstract excerpt
Glutathione S-transferase (GST) class Mu activity was determined in 145 unrelated hospital patients in Berlin by measuring their conjugation activity towards the specific substrate trans-stilbene oxide (TSO) with two substrate concentrations (50 and 250 microM) in homogenates prepared from lymphocytes. Eighty individuals (55.2%) had an activity lower than 10 pmol/min/10(6) lymphocytes and were classified as GST...
