- Main Determinants of PON1 Activity in Hemodialysis PatientsPublication . Ribeiro, Sandra; do Sameiro Faria, Maria; Mascarenhas-Melo, Filipa; Freitas, Isabel; Mendonca, Maria Isabel; Nascimento, Henrique; Rocha-Pereira, Petronila; Miranda, Vasco; Mendonça, Denisa; Quintanilha, Alexandre; Belo, Luís; Costa, Elísio; Reis, Flávio; Santos-Silva, AliceCardiovascular diseases are the major cause of morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. These patients present reduced paraoxonase 1 (PON1) activity that depends on genetic and non-genetic factors; however, how these factors influence PON1 activity in HD patients is poorly clarified. Our aim was to evaluate the influence of two polymorphisms and non-genetic factors on PON1 activity in HD patients.
