Paraoxonase inhibits high-density lipoprotein oxidation and preserves its functions. A possible peroxidative role for paraoxonase.

TL;DR: It is concluded that HDL-associated PON possesses peroxidase-like activity that can contribute to the protective effect of PON against lipoprotein oxidation, and may be a major contributor to the antiatherogenicity of this lipop Protein.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human serum paraoxonase (PON 1) is inactivated by oxidized low density lipoprotein and preserved by antioxidants.

TL;DR: PON's ability to protect LDL against oxidation is accompanied by inactivation of the enzyme, suggesting the interaction of oxidized lipids in Ox-LDL with the PON's free sulfhydryl group.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pomegranate juice consumption for 3 years by patients with carotid artery stenosis reduces common carotid intima-media thickness, blood pressure and LDL oxidation

TL;DR: It is suggested that pomegranate juice consumption by patients with CAS decreases carotid IMT and systolic blood pressure and these effects could be related to the potent antioxidant characteristics of PJ polyphenols.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduced Progression of Atherosclerosis in Apolipoprotein E–Deficient Mice Following Consumption of Red Wine, or Its Polyphenols Quercetin or Catechin, Is Associated With Reduced Susceptibility of LDL to Oxidation and Aggregation

TL;DR: Dietary consumption by E degree mice of red wine or its polyphenolic flavonoids quercetin and, to a lesser extent, catechin leads to attenuation in the development of the atherosclerotic lesion, and this effect is associated with reduced susceptibility of their LDL to oxidation and aggregation.
