Activities of thymidine kinase, thymidine phosphorylase, adenosine deaminase and 5'-nucleotidase of AMP were studied in blood serum and lymphocytes of healthy women, patients with mastopathy and with mammary gland cancer of 23-70 years old. Age-dependent alterations in the enzymatic activity were detected in blood serum of healthy women. Activity of thymidine kinase was increased simultaneously with a decrease in thymidine phosphorylase activity in 36-70 years old oncological patients, while adenosine deaminase activity was increased in patients with mastopathy and with mammary gland cancer of all the age groups. Dynamics of the enzymatic activity studied before and during chemotherapeutic treatment may be used as one of biochemical tests for evaluation of the therapy efficiency in oncological patients.

The activity of thymidine kinase, thymidine phosphorylase, adenosine deaminase and 5'-nucleotidase of AMP was studied in tissues of 39 healthy females, as well as blood serum and lymphocytes of 60 healthy females, as well as in 50 patients with fibrocavernous mastopathy aged as 23-70. Comparative determination of adenosine metabolism enzymes activity in lymphocytes was carried out simultaneously with studying some immunological indexes in the organism of the same-aged healthy females and ones with mastopathy. It was revealed that age-related changes in the activity of thymidine kinase in blood serum reflected the analogous changes in enzyme activity in tissues of the healthy women. A direct correlation was established between thymidine kinase activity and age both in the healthy females and those with mastopathy. A significant decrease in activity of thymidine phosphorylase was demonstrated in blood serum of the patients with mastopathy in the age 46-60. Determined 4-fold increase in the activity of adenosine deaminase in serum was accompanied by decreased enzyme activity in lymphocytes and decreased Lymphocyte Blast Transformation Index in the same age range. Changes of immunological status are more expressed in T-system of immunity. The revealed metabolic changes in DNA-precursors metabolism in the patients with mastopathy aged as 46-60 might be one of the reasons of increased risk of oncological disease in this age group.
