To determine the PON1 activity and phenotype distribution in a Thai population. Prospective Descriptive study. Between October 2001 and April 2002, 160 healthy Thai individuals aged 20-74 years were assessed for PON1 activity and the phenotype distribution by using dual substrate method. The means +/- SD of basal, salt-stimulated paraoxonase and arylesterase activities were 239.7 +/- 83.9 nmol/min/mL 555.2 +/- 222.2 nmol/min/mL and 147.6 +/- 33.8 micromol/min/mL respectively. The authors observed a wide interindividual variability up to 6.9-fold for paraoxonase activity and 4.6-fold for arylesterase activity. The authors found a range of ssPON/ARE ratio from 1.04 to 7.05 and three distinctive phenotype modals of AA (1.04-2.25), AB (2.44-4.29), and BB (4.53-7.05) with frequencies of 14.4% (AA), 51.9% (AB), and 33.7% (BB). The authors also observed the association of sex with lipid parameters and PON1 activity. The distribution of PON1 phenotype in Thais is clearly trimodal with high frequency in BB phenotype.
