Table 4. Multivariable linear regression models of follicular fluid (FF) PON1 activities associated with size-specific high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles (μmol/L), according to PON1 Q192R phenotype.
PON activity | Phenotype | HDL particle size (nm) | n women (n follicles) | % change | 95% CI | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Low | High | |||||
Arylesterase activity | 9.4 | 59 (102) | 1.25 * | 1.07 | 1.46 | |
QR | 8.3 | 63 (110) | 0.74 * | 0.62 | 0.87 | |
- | 8.0 | - | 1.10 * | 1.03 | 1.16 | |
RR | 13.0 | 28 (50) | 21.39 * | 2.52 | 181.62 | |
Paraoxonase activity | 9.7 | 59 (102) | 1.23 * | 1.09 | 1.40 | |
QR | 8.0 | 63 (110) | 1.14 * | 1.06 | 1.21 | |
RR | 8.5 | 28 (50) | 1.32 * | 1.14 | 1.52 |
NOTE: PON activities and concentrations of specific HDL particle sizes were natural log-transformed for the analyses. Models were adjusted for age, body mass index, and cigarette smoking, and generalized estimating equations were used to provide for robust standard errors.
