Immunobiochemical analysis of Paraoxonase1 (anti-oxidant), xanthine oxidase (oxidant) enzymes and lipid profile of cardiac disease patients in Lahore Metropolitan, Pakistan.

Cardiac diseases are the major cause of death. Paraoxonase1 (PON1) is known as free radicals scavenger/anti-atherosclerosis, whereas xanthine oxidase (XO) is a free radicals generator. This study was undertaken to determine and compare the Paraoxonase and arylesterase activities of PON1 enzyme and activity of XO enzyme.
