Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To assess whether paraoxonase (PON1) polymorphisms at positions 55 and 192 and/or their phenotypic expressions influence the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) in Spanish population. DESIGN AND METHODS: Two hundred and fifteen male survivors of a MI and their age-matched controls were included in the study. Lipids, apolipoproteins (apo) A-I and B, PON1 activity on paraoxon and phenylacetate and PON1...
