Paraoxonase-1 is related to inflammation, fibrosis and PPAR delta in experimental liver disease [PDF]
, 2009 Background Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is an antioxidant enzyme synthesized by the liver. It protects against liver impairment and attenuates the production of the pro-inflammatory monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1).

Rice and bean AHL-mimic quorum-sensing signals specifically interfere with the capacity to form biofilms by plant-associated bacteria [PDF]
, 2013 Many bacteria regulate their gene expression in response to changes in their population density in a process called quorum sensing (QS), which involves communication between cells mediated by small diffusible signal molecules termed autoinducers.

Modulation of paraoxonase 1 and 3 expression after moderate exercise training in the rat
Journal of Lipid Research, 2009 Paraoxonases (PONs) are a small family of antioxidant enzymes whose antiatherogenic activity is well known. The aim of the present study was the evaluation of the effects of moderate aerobic training on their expression using a rat model.

Low Serum Paraoxonase-1 Lactonase and Arylesterase Activities in Obese Children and Adolescents
Romanian Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2015 Serum paraoxonase-1 (PON1) binds mainly to high density lipoproteins (HDLs) and protects low density lipoproteins (LDLs) against oxidation. While paraoxonase and arylesterase activities are traditionally assayed, lactonase activity, accounting for ...
