Associations of PON1 and genetic ancestry with obesity in early childhood. [PDF]

, 2013
Obesity in children has become an epidemic in the U.S. and is particularly prominent in minority populations such as Mexican-Americans. In addition to physical activity and diet, genetics also plays a role in obesity etiology. A few studies in adults and

Association between Paraoxonase/Arylesterase Activity of Serum PON-1 Enzyme and Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Antioxidants, 2022
Background: A decrease in serum paraoxonase (PON-1) and arylesterase (ARE) activity has been reported in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and linked to chronic inflammation and impaired antioxidant defense.

Usefulness of the Measurement of Serum Paraoxonase-1 Arylesterase Activity in the Diagnoses of COVID-19

Biomolecules, 2022
The development of inexpensive, fast, and reliable screening tests for COVID-19 is, as yet, an unmet need. The present study was aimed at evaluating the usefulness of serum arylesterase activity of paraoxonase-1 (PON1) measurement as a screening test in ...

Endothelial Lipase Modulates Paraoxonase 1 Content and Arylesterase Activity of HDL

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Endothelial lipase (EL) is a strong modulator of the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) structure, composition, and function. Here, we examined the impact of EL on HDL paraoxonase 1 (PON1) content and arylesterase (AE) activity in vitro and in vivo.

Functional, Structural and Genetic Modulation in Plasma and Renal Antioxidant Systems by Quercetin, Catechin and Genistein in Cisplatin-Induced Acute Nephrotoxicity in Wistar Rats. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
Cisplatin administration increases production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as indicated by increased plasma renal biomarkers (KIM‐1, Cys‐C, BUN, CR), cellular damage indicators (MDA, AOPP, 8‐OHdG) and histopathology of kidney. Co‐exposure along with quercetin, catechin and genistein restored the renal functions which may be due to direct ROS ...

Arylesterase activity of paraoxonase 1 (PON1) on HDL3 and HDL2: Relationship with Q192R, C-108T, and L55M polymorphisms

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2021
Background Controversy exists regarding the role of the subfractions of high-density lipoproteins (HDL2 and HDL3) in cardiovascular disease. The functionality of these particles, and their protective role, is due in part to the paraoxonase 1 (PON1 ...

High-density lipopoprotein antioxidant capacity, subpopulation distribution and paraoxonase-1 activity in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus [PDF]

, 2020
BACKGROUND: The causes of increased cardiovascular risk in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are not understood thoroughly, although presence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors and disease-specific agents were also proposed.

Paraoxonase and arylesterase activities in fibromyalgia [PDF]

Redox Report, 2007
We aimed to evaluate the association of serum paraoxonase and arylesterase activities and oxidative/antioxidative status in patients with fibromyalgia. Forty-two patients with fibromyalgia and 53 healthy controls were included in the study. Serum paraoxonase and arylesterase activities were measured spectrophotometrically.

Studies on human serum paraoxonase/arylesterase [PDF]

Chemico-Biological Interactions, 1993
The complete amino acid sequence of human serum paraoxonase/arylesterase and the DNA sequence coding for that protein have recently been determined in two independent laboratories. There is now considerable evidence that the esterase exists in two genetically determined allozymic forms, and these A and B allozymes possess both paraoxonase and ...
