Article Abstract
Objective: The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of paraoxonase 1 (PON1) L55M polymorphism on the enzyme's activity and concentration in the serum as well as its association with lipid profile parameters in a group of healthy persons. We also evaluated the presence of PON1 L55M polymorphism in a group of subjects exposed to tobacco smoke and with overweight or obesity on those parameters.
Methods: Analysis of L55M polymorphism was done using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis (PCR - RFLP). Serum PON1 concentration and lipid profile parameters were assayed using commercial tests. PON1 activities were measured earlier elaborated procedures.
Results: We observed a statistically significant difference in HDL and PON1 concentration: the highest in the LL genotype and the lowest in the MM genotype with the LM genotype having an intermediate concentration. L55M polymorphism influence on PON1 arylesterase and phosphotriesterase activity, whereas PON1 lactonase activity did not differ in all polymorphic variant groups. Exposure to tobacco smoke and overweight or obesity additionally disorder above mentioned parameters. Overweight and obesity in LM and MM genotype could be associated with higher PON1 phosphotriesterase activity. It is also possible that MM genotype could be a determinant of smoking addiction.
Conclusions: L55M polymorphism, like exposure to tobacco smoke and overweight, disorders PON1 status and lipid profile parameters; therefore, it could be a crucial risk factor for the development of many metabolic disorders.

Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is a significant global health issue, with oxidative stress playing a pivotal role in its pathogenesis. Paraoxonase 1 (PON1), an enzyme with antioxidant properties, may modulate oxidative stress and cancer susceptibility. This study examined the association between two PON1 polymorphisms, rs662 (Q192R) and rs854560 (L55M), and their effects on GC risk and oxidative stress markers.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with both genetic and environmental risk factors. The PON1 rs854560 (L55M) polymorphism has been implicated in cancer susceptibility through its role in oxidative stress regulation, but its association with CRC remains unclear, particularly in Asian populations.
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the association between the PON1 rs854560 polymorphism and CRC susceptibility in a Chinese cohort, while assessing its impact on PON1 expression and enzymatic activity.

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has significantly improved the life expectancy of people living with HIV-1 (PLWH). However, prolonged ART use is linked to metabolic alterations and oxidative stress. The paraoxonase (PON) enzymes, especially PON-1 and PON-2, are critical in maintaining antioxidant balance.

Introduction: The general population is chronically exposed to organophosphate pesticides through various routes including ingestion, hand-to-mouth contact, inhalation, and dermal contact. Exposure to organophosphate pesticides during pregnancy impairs fetal development, but the potential long-term effects of gestational organophosphate pesticide exposure are less well understood.
Methods: We investigated associations between gestational organophosphate pesticide exposure and cardiovascular outcomes in 643 children in the Generation R Study, a prospective pregnancy cohort based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Numerous studies have tried to evaluate the potential role of thrombophilia-related genes in retinal vein occlusion (RVO); however, there is limited research on genes related to different pathophysiological mechanisms involved in RVO. In view of the strong contribution of oxidative stress and inflammation to the pathogenesis of RVO, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the association of inflammation- and oxidative-stress-related polymorphisms from three different genes [] and the risk of RVO in a Greek population. Participants in this case-control study were 50 RVO patients (RVO group) and 50 healthy volunteers (control group).
