Human paraoxonases (PON1, PON2, and PON3) are lactonases with overlapping and distinct substrate specificities

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
The paraoxonase (PON) gene family in humans has three members, PON1, PON2, and PON3. Their physiological role(s) and natural substrates are uncertain. We developed a baculovirus-mediated expression system, suitable for all three human PONs, and optimized

Paraoxonase-1 Phenotype and Its Relationship with Mean Platelet Volume and Oxidative Stress in Coronary Artery Disease

Bezmiâlem Science, 2015
Objective:Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) 192 QR polymorphism is believed to be an important protective factor for coronary artery disease (CAD); oxidative stress plays a key role in the development of atherosclerotic CAD. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is also central

Paraoxonase and arylesterase activities in patients with cardiac syndrome X, and their relationship with oxidative stress markers

, 2007
OBJECTIVES: Paraoxonase-1 is a high-density lipoprotein-associated enzyme with three activities, which are paraoxonase, arylesterase and dyazoxonase. Paraoxonase-1 was shown to decrease in patients with cardiovascular diseases.
