Paraoxonase 1 Activity and Survival in Sepsis Patients
Background: Sepsis is a state of augmented oxidative stress and diminished antioxidant capacity. High density lipoprotein (HDL) particles were shown to possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as Paraoxonase 1 (PON1), which is an ...

Dietary cholesterol increases paraoxonase 1 enzyme activity [PDF]
HDL-associated paraoxonase 1 (PON1) activity has been consistently associated with cardiovascular and other diseases. Vitamins C and E intake have previously been positively associated with PON1 in a subset of the Carotid Lesion Epidemiology and Risk ...

Paraoxonase-1 and Early-Life Environmental Exposures
Acute and chronic exposures to widely used organophosphorus (OP) insecticides are common. Children's detoxification mechanisms are not well developed until several years after birth.

Paraoxonase 1 polymorphisms and survival [PDF]
The antioxidant enzyme paraoxonase 1 (PON1) has previously been suggested to confer protection against coronary heart disease (CHD), one of the main causes of death in the Western world. Two coding polymorphisms, 55M/L and 192Q/R, and a promoter variant, -107C/T, has been extensively studied with respect to susceptibility to CHD. In this study, we have

Paraoxonase 1 in neurological disorders [PDF]
Paroxonase 1 displays multiple physiological activities that position it as a putative player in the pathogenesis of neurological disorders. Here we reviewed the literature focusing on the role of paraoxonase 1 (PON1) as a factor in the risk of stroke and the major neurodegenerative diseases.

Haplotype-Phenotype Relationships of Paraoxonase-1 [PDF]
Abstract Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) is an enzyme with multiple activities, including detoxification of organophosphates. It is believed to be important in preventing neurotoxic damage and has also been implicated in atherosclerosis. The PON1 gene contains five common polymorphisms, three in the promoter (−909G > C, −162A > G ...

Paraoxonase 1 in Chronic Kidney Failure [PDF]
In this review we summarize the findings from the literature and our own laboratory on the decreased PON1 activity in renal failure, the mechanisms proposed and the effect of interventions. In addition to profound alterations in lipoproteins, reduced serum PON1 activity has been clearly established in the past decade and could contribute to accelerated

Solubilization and Humanization of Paraoxonase-1 [PDF]
Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is a serum protein, the activity of which is related to susceptibility to cardiovascular disease and intoxication by organophosphorus (OP) compounds. It may also be involved in innate immunity, and it is a possible lead molecule in the development of a catalytic bioscavenger of OP pesticides and nerve agents.

The Effects of Bioavailability-Enhanced Curcuminoids on Serum Paraoxonase-1 Activity in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome [PDF]
Introduction: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is characterised by a clustering of metabolic cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors that include: central obesity, impaired glucose metabolism, dyslipidaemia (hypertriglyceridemia, increased low-density ...
