Interactions of Paraoxonase-1 with Pharmacologically Relevant Carbamates [PDF]
Mammalian paraoxonase-1 hydrolyses a very broad spectrum of esters such as certain drugs and xenobiotics. The aim of this study was to determine whether carbamates influence the activity of recombinant PON1 (rePON1). Carbamates were selected having a variety of applications: bambuterol and physostigmine are drugs, carbofuran is used as a pesticide ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Relationship of serum paraoxonase 1 activity and paraoxonase 1 genotype to risk of systemic lupus erythematosus [PDF]
AbstractObjectiveLow serum paraoxonase 1 (PON1) activity determined with paraoxon as substrate has been found to be associated with coronary artery disease. This study was undertaken to examine the relationship of PON1 activity and genotype to risk of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).MethodsThe impact of 7 PON1 single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs ...

The Role of PON1 Variants in Disease Susceptibility in a Turkish Population
Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) enzyme plays a major role in antioxidant defense and protects the cells against reactive species. The most common PON1 Q192R and L55M polymorphisms are responsible for a wide variation of PON1 activity, which showed an up to 13-fold ...

Correlation of Paraoxonase-1 with the Severity of Crohn’s Disease [PDF]
Diagnostics of Crohn’s disease (CD) requires noninvasive biomarkers facilitating early detection and differentiation of the disease. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine the relationship between paraoxonase-1 (PON-1), the severity of CD, oxidative stress, and inflammation in CD.
