Methods for Measuring Serum Activity Levels of the 192 Q and R Isoenzymes of Paraoxonase 1 in QR Heterozygous Individuals

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Paraoxonase 1 (PON1), an esterase that hydrolyzes toxic organophosphates and has antioxidative and antiatherogenic properties, contains a common polymorphism at position 192: glutamine (Q) or arginine (R). The Q and R isoenzymes exhibit different physical and protective properties. We describe 2 methods for quantifying their serum activity levels.

“…Three known activities of this enzyme are paraoxonase (PON), arylesterase (ARE) and diazoxonase. It provides the antiatherogenic properties of HDL, by preventing low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation [ 4 , 5 ]. Paraoxonase 1 deficiency is very sensitive to development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease [ 6 ].…”

“…All biomarkers reported here have been previously measured and the analytical methods described, 24 including MPO, plasma lipids, serum PON1 activity, 25,26 cholesterol efflux, 27 Interleukin 18, 28 high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), 24,29 asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA). 30 MPO measurements were provided by Biosite, Inc. (now Alere, Inc., Waltham, MA).…”

“…32 PON1 arylesterase activity was measured by cleavage of phenyl acetate resulting in phenol formation, measured in kU/L, based on the extinction coefficient of phenol. 26 Cholesterol efflux capacity was assessed by measuring the efflux of fluorescence-labeled cholesterol from J774 macrophages to apolipoprotein B–depleted plasma in study participants, expressed as a percentage of efflux in the sample, normalized to a reference sample. 27 All the analyzed data came from samples collected at baseline.…”

“…It ensures the anti-atherogenic features of HDL, by avoiding low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation. (15) Iron deficiency is an important health problem of women over the age of 40, which is frequently encountered in our country as well as all over the world and creates a certain burden on the health economy of a country.…”
