RESUMEN
Evidences suggest that paraoxonase 1 (PON1) confers important antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties when associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL). To investigate the relationships between p.Q192R SNP of We studied 584 volunteers (females n = 326, males n = 258; 19-75 years of age). Total genomic DNA was extracted and SNP was detected in the TaqMan® SNP OpenArray® genotyping platform (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). Plasma lipoproteins and apolipoproteins were determined and PON1 activity was measured using paraoxon as a substrate. High-resolution β-mode ultrasonography was used to measure cIMT and the presence of carotid atherosclerotic plaques in a subgroup of individuals (n = 317). The presence of p.192Q was associated with a significant increase in PON1 activity (RR = 12.30 (11.38); RQ = 46.96 (22.35); QQ = 85.35 (24.83) μmol/min; p < 0.0001), HDL-C (RR= 45 (37); RQ = 62 (39); QQ = 69 (29) mg/dL; p < 0.001) and apo A-I (RR = 140.76 ± 36.39; RQ = 147.62 ± 36.92; QQ = 147.49 ± 36.65 mg/dL; p = 0.019). Stepwise regression analysis revealed that heterozygous and p.192Q carriers influenced by 58% PON1 activity towards paraoxon. The univariate linear regression analysis demonstrated that p.Q192R SNP was not associated with mean cIMT; as a result, in the multiple regression analysis, no variables were selected with 5% significance. In logistic regression analysis, the studied parameters were not associated with the presence of carotid plaques. In low-risk individuals, the presence of the p.192Q variant of
Evidências sugerem que a paroxonase 1 (PON1) confere importantes propriedades antioxidantes e antiinflamatórias quando associada à lipoproteína de alta densidade (HDL). Investigar as relações entre o SNP p.Q192R da Foram estudados 584 voluntários (mulheres, n = 326; homens, n = 258; idade entre 19-75 anos). Foi extraído DNA genômico total e o SNP foi detectado na plataforma de genotipagem TaqMan® SNP OpenArray® (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). Foram dosadas lipoproteínas e apolipoproteínas plasmáticas, e a atividade da PON1 foi medida utilizando-se paraoxon como substrato. Foi utilizada ultrassonografia bidimensional de alta resolução para determinar a espessura íntimo‑medial das artérias carótidas (EIMc) e a presença de placas ateroscleróticas carotídeas em um subgrupo de indivíduos (n = 317). A presença de p.192Q esteve associada a um aumento significativo da atividade da PON1 (RR = 12,30 (11,38); RQ = 46,96 (22,35); QQ = 85,35 (24.83) μmol/min; p < 0,0001), HDL-C (RR = 45 (37); RQ = 62 (39); QQ= 69 (29) mg/dL; p < 0,001) e apo A-1 (RR = 140,76 ± 36,39; RQ = 147,62 ± 36,92; QQ = 147,49 ± 36,65 mg/dL; p = 0,019).

RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To compare common carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) between the two major Brazilian ethnic groups (those of African descent and those of European descent) among individuals with one or more risk factors for atherosclerotic disease. METHOD: Two hundred and six patients with one or more risk factors for atherosclerotic disease were evaluated in a cross-sectional study in which their clinical, ethnic and Demographic characteristics were collected. All patients underwent duplex ultrasound examination of their carotid vessels to obtain IMT measurements. RESULTS: One hundred and fifty-three patients (74.3%) had a carotid IMT greater than 1.0 mm at one or more point of measurement in at least one common carotid artery. There was a significant correlation between older age and mean carotid wall thickness (R=0.479 / P<0.01). Multivariate analysis identified male sex, arterial hypertension and older age as variables associated with increased IMT (P<0.05 for all variables). When IMT was compared between the two ethnic groups in this study, no significant differences were noted. Euro-descendants and Afro-descendants had similar IMT values, even when the groups were stratified by degree of IMT (normal vs. increased) and presence of stroke and/or transient ischemic attack (yes vs. no). CONCLUSIONS: The risk factors associated with increased common carotid artery IMT in Brazilian individuals are similar to those in previously described populations. No differences were observed between the two main Brazilian ethnic groups. Longitudinal studies are required for a better evaluation of the incidence, etiologic factors and evolution of carotid intimomedial thickening in this population.
