Do relationship of serum paraoxonase enzyme activity and thermal burn injury?
Human thermal burn injury was associated with an increase in MDA production and a decrease in PON-1 arylesterase activity, which was proportional to the percentage of total burned surface area.
We found distinct clinical phenotypes to be associated with PAB positivity. Therefore, determination of PABs and their subgroup analysis might identify patients with complicated disease behavior. However, the clinical relevance of our findings should be further evaluated in prospective cohorts.
