Purpose: Paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) is a high-density lipoprotein-associated (HDL) enzyme, which has been shown to reduce susceptibility to low-density lipoprotein (LDL) peroxidation. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a marker of atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between PON-1 activity and EAT in hemodialysis (HD) patients.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted on 72 (43 males) HD patients with end-stage renal disease. Serum levels for lipid profiles, C-reactive protein, calcium, phosphate, and parathyroid hormone were measured. PON-1 activity was also measured and compared to the rate of enzymatic hydrolysis of paraoxon to p-nitrophenol. Echocardiography was used to measure EAT thickness (EATT). The correlation between PON-1 and EATT was assessed, while independent predictors of EATT in HD patients were similarly assessed using multivariate regression analysis.
Results: There was a significant low mean value of PON-1 activity in HD patients compared with the control group (82.1 ± 31.6 vs. 164.3 ± 61.5 U/l, p = 0.0001) and significant high mean value of EATT in HD patients, compared with controls (6.2 ± 1.7 vs. 3.9 ± 1.1 mm, p = 0.0001). In addition, there was a significant negative correlation between PON-1 activity and EATT (r = -0.484, p = 0.0001) and a significant positive correlation between PON-1 activity and HDL-C (r = 0.417, p = 0.0003). PON-1, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, HDL, age, and body mass index were found to be independent predictors of EATT.
Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that PON-1 activity was significantly lower in HD patients compared with healthy controls and that PON-1 activity was inversely correlated with EATT in this population.

Objective: Dysregulation of lipid metabolism can be one of the pathophysiological mechanisms linking high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) dysfunction to obesity. The aim of the study is to show possible changes in lipid metabolism with atherogenic indices in obese patients after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) surgery.
Method: Thirty patients who had SG surgery for obesity were included in the prospective study.

Objective: Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) indicators have been suggested to predict overall outcome responses to olanzapine (OLZ) treatments in terms of efficacy and metabolic syndrome. This study aimed to investigate whether paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) activity can be used to predict schizophrenia patient outcomes.
Methods: Schizophrenic patients ( = 50) aged between 20 and 65 years who received OLZ treatment were recruited, and their Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale scores, PON-1 activity, and olanzapine drug levels normalized by dose (OLZ/D) and its metabolite N-desmethyl-olanzapine (DMO), together with biochemical parameters, were determined.

Mast cell tumors (MCTs) are common skin neoplasms in dogs. Prognostic indicators include histologic grade, clinical stage, high Ki-67 index, elevated argyrophilic nucleolus organizer regions (AgNOR) index, mutations, and recurrence after surgery. Blood serum redox status has been shown to correlate with prognostic factors in canine lymphoma and mammary tumors.

Introduction: Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is a crucial esterase in cardiovascular health, closely associated with HDL and known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Reduced PON1 activity has been linked to cardiovascular diseases. Lysophospholipids (LysoPLs), essential for cellular processes and immune responses, are implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases and are bound to lipoproteins, contributing to their diverse effects.

Article Synopsis
- PCOS is a common syndrome in women that relates to issues like insulin resistance, and the study focuses on the effects of chlorogenic acid from green coffee on oxidative stress markers.
- In a randomized clinical trial with 44 women, those taking 400 mg of green coffee for 6 weeks showed increased PON-1 levels and decreased cholesterol levels, indicating potential health benefits.
- Despite the positive changes in PON-1 and cholesterol, the green coffee supplementation did not significantly affect levels of MDA or glycemic status in the participants.
