| Abstract | AIM: Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) is an important antioxidative enzyme associated with high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Recent data suggest that HDL antioxidative ability may be altered in type 2 diabetic patients. The aim of this study was, therefore, to investigate whether HDL-PON1 activity and HDL antioxidative ability were related to the presence and severity of diabetic nephropathy. METHODS: Sixty type 2 diabetic patients, who were subdivided into normoalbuminuria, microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria, and 20 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were recruited. HDL was then isolated to measure PON1 activity, lipid peroxide and its ability in protecting low-density lipoprotein (LDL) from oxidation. RESULTS: HDL-PON1 activity and HDL antioxidative ability in protecting LDL from oxidation was preserved in diabetic patients with normoalbuminuria, but significantly decreased in those with microalbuminuria or macroalbuminuria. HDL peroxide was comparable between healthy controls and normoalbuminuric patients, but significantly increased in those with microalbuminuria or macroalbuminuria. On multiple analyses, urinary protein was an independent negative determinant of HDL-PON1 activity, and HDL-PON1 activity was positively associated with HDL antioxidative ability, and negatively associated with HDL peroxide. CONCLUSION: HDL-PON1 activity is decreased in type 2 diabetic patients with incipient or overt nephropathy, which relates to the reduced HDL antioxidative ability in protecting LDL from oxidation and increased peroxide in HDL. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
