Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Patients with chronic renal failure on maintenance haemodialysis (HD) are at high risk of atherothrombotic events; an enhanced oxidant stress might have a major role. The decrease of human paraoxonase (PON1), an anti-oxidant high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-linked enzyme, is a possible mechanism for developing cardiovascular disease. To ascertain the causes of low PON1 in such patients, we investigated...
