Table 3. PON1 paraoxonase activity as a function of the health status of the participants.

Health status (n = number of subjects)	PON1 activity (U/mL)
Healthy (n = 100)	366.3 ± 16.12
Diabetes (n = 87)	189.93 ± 9.14****
Hypertension (n = 71)	197.52 ± 9.77****
Obesity (n = 57)	215.37 ± 11.06****
Smoking (n = 72)	200.14 ± 10.16****
Alcohol consumption (n = 25)	173.3 ± 16.14****
Family history of CVD (n = 59)	217.97 ± 12.04****

Values are means ± SEM. Significance was established by comparing the health status of the ACS group to that of the healthy control group.

**** p<0.001 for comparisons with the healthy control group using the student’s t-test.
