Paraoxonase-1 in female infertility: a possible role against oxidative stress-induced inflammation
Abstract
In this observational, case-control study in infertile women, we observed elevated serum oxidative stress that was significantly correlated with an increase in serum paraoxonase-1 activity and without any evidence of a proinflammatory reaction. These results suggest a protective role of paraoxonase-1 against inflammation in this clinical setting.
