Abstract

Objectives: Paraoxonase, a high density lipoprotein (HDL) associated enzyme, was shown to be reduced in patients with cardiovascular diseases. We aimed to examine serum paraoxonase and arylesterase activities, and oxidative stress markers such as lipid hydroperoxide (LOOH) and total antioxidant status (TAS) in dipper and non-dipper hypertensive patients.
