Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Paraoxonase may mitigate oxidative damage and thus lower risk of macrovascular disease. METHODS: DNA samples from 2252 participants in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study were genotyped for the L55M and Q192R polymorphisms of the PON1 (paraoxonase 1) gene, and paraoxonase activity was measured in serum. RESULTS: The 192R (67.4% vs 29.7%) and 55L (80.0% vs 63.8%) alleles...
