Serum paraoxonase circulates on a subfraction of high density lipoproteins and appears to use phospholipids on both low and high density lipoprotein particles as a physiological substrate. This functional relationship could explain the reported associations between common variation in the PON1 gene--at codons 55 and 192--and phenotypes related to atherosclerosis and lipoprotein metabolism. We evaluated...
