Abstract

Objectives: Lipoprotein oxidation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia and paraoxonase, an antioxidant enzyme shown to protect lipoproteins from being oxidized. The aim of the present study was to evaluate oxidizability of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins and serum paraoxonase/arylesterase activities in preeclampsia.
