Paraoxonase 2 attenuates macrophage triglyceride accumulation via inhibition of diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1

This study questioned the role of paraoxonase 2 (PON2) in attenuation of macrophage lipids accumulation. Mouse peritoneal macrophages (MPMs) harvested from PON2-deficient mice versus control C57BL/6 mice, look like foam cells and were larger in size and filled with lipid droplets. Macrophage triglyc...
