Paraoxonases at the Heart of Neurological Disorders
Paraoxonase enzymes serve as an important physiological redox system that participates in the protection against cellular injury caused by oxidative stress. The PON enzymes family consists of three members (PON-1, PON-2, and PON-3) that share a similar structure and location as a cluster on human chromosome 7.

Paraoxonase and Arylesterase Activities in Patients with Preeclampsia
Objective: Paraoxonase is a high density lipoprotein-associated antioxidant enzyme. The aim of this study was to investigate the serum paraoxonase and arylesterase activities and associations between these enzymes and lipid hydroperoxide (LOOH) in ...

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

The E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM2 confers neuroprotection against 6‐OHDA‐induced oxidative stress and apoptosis. It exerts this function by binding to ELAVL1 and promoting its degradation via the ubiquitin‐proteasome pathway. Thus, our study reveals the TRIM2‐ELAVL1 axis as a key regulatory mechanism for neuronal survival under 6‐OHDA‐stimulated toxic ...

Developmental expression of paraoxonase 2 [PDF]
Paraoxonase 2 (PON2) is a member of the paraoxonase gene family also comprising PON1 and PON3. PON2 functions as a lactonase and exhibits anti-bacterial as well as antioxidant properties. At the cellular level, PON2 localizes to the mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum membranes where it scavenges reactive oxygen species.

The Neuroprotective Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate (Punica granatum)
The Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate on Neurodegeneration. ABSTRACT Pomegranate is an exceptional fruit that can have several beneficial effects on human health. The peel of pomegranate, a waste product, should be recovered as it still contains valuable constituents, including phenolic compounds, minerals and fibre. The recovery of
