The present study showed that the levels of oxidants such as MDA, ILs, MMPs and HSPs were significantly greater, while the levels of antioxidants such as Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Glutathione (GSH), Catalase (CAT), vitamin A, C and D were significantly lower in breast cancer patients than in controls, suggesting their diagnostic importance and role in the pathophysiology of breast cancer. This evidence concerns the gene CAT and breast carcinoma.
