Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms of the gene for the antioxidant enzyme, paraoxonase-1 (PON1), have been identified as risk factors for coronary disease (CHD), notably in diabetic patients. The polymorphisms have also been linked with other diabetic complications. The present study analyzed glucose metabolism as a function of PON1 polymorphisms in young healthy nondiabetic men from families with premature CHD and matched controls....
