Alterations of Paraoxonase and Platelet-Activating Factor Acetylhydrolase Activities in Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis

Abstract

The elevated activities of PON1 and HDL-PAF-AH could explain the increased resistance of PD-HDL to oxidation; the higher activity of total PAF-AH and the decreased HDL-PAF-AH/ total PAF-AH ratio could contribute to the increased incidence of atherosclerosis in these patients.
