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 wheth...
