Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Paraoxonase (PON1) enzyme was identified as one of the components of HDL responsible for prevention of lipid peroxides accumulation in low-density lipoprotein (LDL). A triphasic phenotypic frequency distribution of PON1 activity was shown in the human population resulted by two nucleotide interchanges at residues 55 and 192. The paraoxonase isoforms have different effectiveness in hydrolysing lipid...
