Paraoxonase-1 in female infertility: a possible role against oxidative stress-induced inflammation

Fertil Steril. 2010 Aug;94(3):1132-4. doi: 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2009.11.043. Epub 2010 Jan 25.

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.
