Paraoxonase is a high-density lipoprotein-bound antioxidant enzyme that inhibits atherosclerosis. Metabolic syndrome is a combination of several metabolic abnormalities and known to be related with increased cardiovascular events. The most important component of metabolic syndrome which have impact on oxidative stress is diabetes, the most severe form of disturbed carbohydrate metabolism. The effect of metabolic syndrome on oxidative stress and paroxonase-1 (PON-1) activity ha...

Increased plasma concentration of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, has been associated with cardiovasular risk factors. The aim of this study was evaluate plasma ADMA levels and subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and healty controls.Thirty-five patients with PCOS and age, body mass index (BMI) matced thirty-one healty subjects were included in the study.PCOS w...
