OBJECTIVES: Paraoxonase (PON1) is a high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-associated esterase that hydrolyses lipoperoxides. PON1 serves as a protective factor against oxidative modification of LDL, suggesting that it may play an important role in the prevention of atherosclerotic process. Research has focused on two polymorphisms: leucine (L allele) to methionine (M allele) substitution at codon 55, and glutamine (A...
