Hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) cause endothelial dysfunction probably through increased oxidant stress. Paraoxonase (PON1) is an high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-linked anti-oxidant enzyme whose capacity is influenced by a genetic polymorphism at codon 192. In the present study we have investigated the role of PON1 polymorphism on endothelial function in subjects with T2DM with or without...
