文摘
Paraoxonase 1 (PON-1) is a high-density lipoprotein (HDL)–associated antioxidant enzyme that plays an important role in HDL-mediated cardioprotection. Although genetic polymorphisms are known to modulate PON-1 activity, its involvement in cardiovascular disease (CVD) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is controversial, suggesting that other factors may modulate its function. Since anti-HDL antibodies have been found to be related to an impaired lipid profile and occurrence of CVD in RA, this study was undertaken to examine the associations between PON-1 activity, anti-HDL antibodies, and CVD according to PON1 genetic variants in patients with RA.
