Low Serum Paraoxonase-1 Lactonase and Arylesterase Activities in Obese Children and Adolescents

Serum paraoxonase-1 (PON1) binds mainly to high density lipoproteins (HDLs) and protects low density lipoproteins (LDLs) against oxidation. While paraoxonase and arylesterase activities are traditionally assayed, lactonase activity, accounting for protection against LDL oxidation, was less investiga...
