Paraoxonase distribution in Caucasian males.
Mean plasma paraoxonase activity was lower in a population of all males than in a mixed sex population with no evidence of the higher activity group. It is suggested that sex differences in plasma lipid may contribute to the observed differences, and that factors other than genetics may influence observed plasma paraoxonase levels.
