Paraoxonase variants relate to 10-year risk in coronary artery disease: impact of a high-density lipoprotein-bound antioxidant in secondary prevention.

27 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVES: We investigated the effects of paraoxonase (PON)-1 variants on long-term clinical outcome in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). BACKGROUND: PON-1 is a potential therapeutic target to further reduce cardiovascular risk because ... Read more...

Mutation-induced reinforcement of prestin-expressing cells.

4 Sep 2009 The motor protein prestin in cochlear outer hair cells is a member of the solute carrier 26 family, but among the proteins of that family, only prestin can confer the cells with nonlinear capacitance (NLC) and motility. In the present study, to ... Read more...

The functional Val158Met polymorphism of COMT predicts interindividual differences in brain alpha oscillations in young men.

31 Aug 2009 Individual patterns of the electroencephalogram (EEG) in wakefulness and sleep are among the most heritable traits in humans, yet distinct genetic and neurochemical mechanisms underlying EEG phenotypes are largely unknown. A functional polymorphism ... Read more...
