Table 2 Enzyme activities in human BC tissues

S	N	SMO activity (pmolH₂O₂/mgprotein/h)	APAO activity (pmolH₂O₂/mg protein/h)	ODC activity (pmolCO₂/mg protein/h)	SSAT activity (pmolCO₂/mg protein/h)
T	20	159.1 (024.8)	190.8 (048.9)	244.5 (53.7)	2,150.0 (343.0)
NT	20	653.2 (161.1)	631.4 (164.1	19.0 (05.2)	598.0 (071.8)

S, sample; N, patient number. Samples T (tumor) and samples NT (non tumor) were collected as described and store at -80°C until assayed for SMO, APAO, ODC and SSAT activity, as described in Methods. Values are mean (SD).
