The PON1 M55L gene polymorphism is associated with reduced HDL-associated PAF-AH activity

The platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase activity associated with high density lipoprotein (HDL-PAF-AH) may substantially contribute to the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and overall antiatherogenic effects of HDL. Two enzymes associated with HDL express PAF-AH catalytic activity, PAF-AH itse...
