Abstract excerpt
Paraoxonase is a high-density-lipoprotein associated enzyme capable of hydrolyzing lipid peroxides, which has been suggested to contribute to atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease (CHD). We studied the Gln/Arg polymorphism affecting codon 192 of human paraoxonase (PON 192) to determine whether this polymorphism, which is associated with serum paraoxonase (PON) activity, represents a risk factor for...
