Paraoxonase enzyme and polymorphisms

This cluster of papers focuses on the role of paraoxonase enzymes in atherosclerosis, oxidative stress, and cardiovascular diseases. It explores the genetic polymorphisms, enzyme activity, and the impact of paraoxonase on lipid peroxidation and inflammation. The research also delves into the association between paraoxonase and high-density lipoproteins (HDL) as well as its potential as an antioxidant.
