Roles of Paraoxonase and Oxidative Stress in Adolescents with Uraemic, Essential or Obesity-Induced Hypertension

Abstract

We found no significant correlation between the biochemical parameters and neither genotypes nor enzyme activities. The PON1 status and the levels of certain biochemical parameters are independently associated with the hypertension in hypertensive and obese hypertensive patients, and the elevated levels of lipid peroxides and plasma homocysteine may contribute to the increased risk of cardiovascular complications in patients on haemodialysis.
