values for serum polyamines in healthy individuals are SPM = 0.29, SPD = 0.45, and PUT = 0.72; for serum polyamines of the group of women with breast cancer are stage I SPM = 0.3, SPD = 0.42, and PUT = 0.67; stage II SPM = 0.33, SPD = 0.42, and PUT = 0.75; stage III SPM = 0.32, SPD = 0.44, and PUT = 0.65; and after chemotherapy SPM = 0.31, SPD = 0.41, and PUT = 0.68. |
