Cysteine is the prevalent thiol in ascitic fluid from patients with ovarian cancer. Thiols quantification in ascitic fluid from patients with ovarian cancer. (A) Total thiols concentration. (B) Free total thiols concentration. (C) Thiols concentration bound to proteins. (D) Percentage of thiols concentration bound to proteins. Cys – cysteine, HCys- Homocysteine, CysGly – Cysteinylglycine, GluCys – Glutamylcystein, GSH – Glutathione, CysSSP – S-cysteinylated proteins, HcySSP – S-homocysteinylated proteins, CysGlySSP – S-cysteinylglycinylated proteins, GluCysSSPS – Glutamylcysteinylated proteins, GSSP – S-glutathionylated proteins, RSSP – total S-thiolated proteins. Thiol concentration was normalized by protein concentration. Results are shown as median. The *represent the statistical significance in relation to Cysteine concentration. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 (independent samples Kruskal Wallis One-way ANOVA with multiple comparisons).
