Paraoxonase 1 Phenotype and Paraoxonase Activity in Asthmatic Patients
Oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of asthma. Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) and arylesterase are esterase enzymes displaying antioxidant characteristics.

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 ...

Genetic polymorphisms of paraoxonase 1 and susceptibility to atherogenesis [PDF]
Introduction. Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) is a multifunctional enzyme associated with high-density lipoprotein particles (HDL). It is a cellular antioxidant that hydrolyses oxidized macromolecules, especially low-density lipoproteins (ox-LDL).

Paraoxonase-1 and clopidogrel efficacy [PDF]
Clopidogrel active thiol metabolite is formed through 1) a cytochrome P450 (CYP dependent oxidation to a thiolactone : 2-oxoclopidogrel. Then a second CYP dependent oxidation to a sulfenic acid which is reduced by excess glutathione to the active cis -thiol-acid.

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.

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.
