BACKGROUND
Inflammation and oxidative stress are associated with cardiovascular diseases and underlying atherosclerosis. The high density lipoprotein (HDL)-associated paraoxonase-1 (PON1) enzyme is known to be involved in the protection of serum lipids from such oxidation. Nonetheless, the
Obesity is a complex disease that is influenced by several factors, such as diet, physical activity, developmental stage, age, genes, and their interactions with the environment. Obesity develops as a result of expansion of fat mass when the intake of energy, stored as triglycerides, exceeds its
Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is an HDL-associated enzyme with anti-atherogenic properties. Reduced PON1 activity has previously been observed in Nippostrongylus brasiliensis-infected rats. However, the effect of chronic zoonotic nematode infections on serum PON1 activity has not yet been studied. Therefore,
BACKGROUND
Ancylostoma spp. is one of the most prevalent canine intestinal nematode infections which usually causes subclinical disease in adult dogs and has zoonotic implications. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore and evaluate the possible pathophysiological changes that Ancylostoma
