ABSTRACT Background and Aims Atherosclerosis (AS), a major cause of cardiovascular mortality, involves chronic inflammation mediated by transcription factors such as NF‐κB, PPARs, and AP‐2α. Beyond its antiplatelet role, aspirin exerts anti‐inflammatory effects that may influence these molecular pathways.

Gene-environemnt interactions: paraoxonase (PON1) and sensitivity to organophosphate toxicity
Paraoxonase (PON1) is a liver and plasma enzyme that hydrolyzes the active metabolites of several organophosphorus insecticides, PON1 displays several polymorphisms that influence both its level of expression and its catalytic activity, thereby ...

Investigation of the effects of Terminalia chebula seed hydroalcoholic extract on Paraoxonase1 enzyme activity in rats [PDF]
Background and aims: Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) is related to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in serum and protects against low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation. This study aimed to investigate the effects of Terminalia chebula on PON1 in hyperlipidemic rats

Abstract Aims Mortality of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is tremendous and massively increased compared to non‐T2D individuals. The reasons are unclear. High‐density lipoprotein (HDL) conducts lipoprotection during AMI, leading to improved outcomes.

Comparing Atherogenic Ratios Using Paraoxonase 1 and HDL-C in Diagnosis of Severity of Coronary Artery Disease in Type 2 Diabetes Patients with Nephropathy [PDF]
Background and purpose: Recent studies suggest that HDL-C may not serve as a useful biomarker in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD). The present study aimed to improve the prediction of CAD in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with nephropathy ...
