Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between certain enzymes (BuChE and PON1) and the nutritional and lipid profiles of children in rural Mexico, focusing on the risk factors associated with obesity and metabolic disorders.
- Out of 97 children assessed, 34.4% were identified as overweight or obese, with findings showing these groups had higher levels of BuChE, cholesterol, and triglycerides compared to thinner or normally weighted peers.
- Genetic analysis revealed that specific polymorphisms of the PON1 enzyme were common among the children, potentially influencing lipid levels and disease predisposition.
