Abstract excerpt
Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) is an HDL-associated enzyme which protects HDL and LDL particles from lipid peroxidation. Its enzymatic serum activity varies 10-40-fold between individuals, and its biallelic gene polymorphism at codon 192 (glutamine-->arginine, Gln/Arg) has been associated with coronary art...
