Özet

Background: Paraoxonase (PON1) is a high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-associated enzyme and has been shown to reduce the susceptibility of low-density hpoprotein (LDL) to lipid peroxidation. This study aimed to investigate the activity and phenotype distribution of serum paraoxonase in uremic patients, and to evaluate the correlations of uremia-associated substances (urea, creatinine (Cr) and uric acid) with paraoxonase activity. Methods: Twenty-eight patients with chronic renal failure (CRF), 44 patients with CRF undergoing hemodialysis (HD) and 26 healthy controls were included in this study. Paraoxon or phenylacetate was used as a substrate for measuring paraoxonase and arylesterase activity, respectively. The double substrate method was used to assign phenotypes. Serum lipid parameters were determined by routine laboratory methods. Results: Paraoxonase activity, HDL-cholesterol and apolipoprotein (apo) AI levels were found to be significantly lower in HD patients than in controls. However, HDL-standardized paraoxonase activity (PON activity/HDL) was not different in the HD patients compared to controls. Arylesterase activity was significantly lower in both CRF and HD patients than in controls. Paraoxonase phenotype distribution was not different among the groups according to the double substrate method. Serum paraoxonase and arylesterase activities correlated inversely with serum urea and Cr levels. Conclusion: Patients on long-term HD have reduced paraoxonase/arylesterase activities and this could be related to reduced HDL-cholesterol and apo AI levels, as well as increased urea and Cr levels in uremia. © Società Italiana di Nefrologia.
