Abstract excerpt
Paraoxonase, a high density lipoprotein-associated human serum enzyme, plays a role in atherosclerosis by protecting against lipid peroxidation. Its activity is modulated by 2 common amino acid polymorphisms at positions 192 (Gln-->Arg) and 55 (Met-->Leu) in the paraoxonase gene (P:ON1). We studied the association of P:ON1 polymorphisms and myocardial infarction (MI) in a population-based study consisting of 492...
