“…Together, these events decreased the OSI after three months of atorvastatin administration. The mechanism involved in this phenomenon may be the ability of atorvastatin to reduce the production of reactive oxygen species [34,39,40,45]. On the other hand, atorvastatin may play a role in protecting LDL, and HDL from oxidation by increasing antioxidant activity of the HDL-associated enzyme, PON1 [16,20,31,36,41].…”

“…Indeed, PON1 protects LDL particles against copper-induced lipid oxidation in vitro [3,28,29] and transgenic mice overexpressing the human PON1 gene have reduced atherosclerotic lesions [48]. Moreover, PON1 knockout mice display accelerated atherosclerosis progression and increased lipid oxidation [40,42,43]. Epidemiological studies indicate that high PON1 activity is inversely associated with the progression of atherosclerosis and reduction in the incidence of coronary artery disease [2,4,25,26,30,33].…”

“…In vitro uptake of unchanged LDL particles by those cells is very slow. In mice with PON1 knockout, macrophages have shown increased oxidative stress and reduction of cellular glutathione concentrations (an antioxidant) (Rozenberg et al 2003), thus leading to LDL oxidation and resulting in macrophage foam cell formation (Aviram and Rosenblat 2004). In addition, mice lacking PON1/apo E proteins exhibited more severe atheroslerotic changes as their LDL particles were more sensitive to oxidation .…”

“…A third relevant enzyme is the PON protein product of the paraoxonase PON1 gene, which destroys environmental toxins that target AChE (12). PON also possesses peroxidase-like activity (13), and can directly reduce oxidative stress in macrophages and in serum (14). Polymorphisms in the ACHE, BCHE, and PON1 genes could therefore affect both the environmental and the experience-related elements of anxiety.…”
