Abstract
The present study provides evidence that FEP is characterized by an inverse relationship between lowered activity of the anti-inflammatory/antioxidant enzyme PON1 and increased cytokine levels, including IL-6, IL-4 and IL-10. It is hypothesized that lowered PON1 activity may play a role in the immune-inflammatory response that accompanies FEP and that increased cytokine levels may further modulate PON1 activity.
