Abstract

Background Turkish adults have a high incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD).

Design The role of lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) as a risk factor for CAD and its association with paraoxonase-1 (PON1) activity and lipid peroxidation indicators were evaluated in Turkish subjects living in Antalya.

Methods Paraoxonase-1 activity, Lp(a), conjugated dienes (CD) and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) levels were measured in 45 healthy controls and 72 CAD patients.

Results In CAD patients, decreased PON1 activity and increased Lp(a), CD and TBARS levels were observed. Risk factors associated with CAD included TBARS, age and CD.
