Abstract

Aim: The relationship between HDL and cardiovascular risk is complex because the cardiovascular risk assessment does not depend only of HDL levels. One of the properties of HDL is the antioxidant capacity, due to paraoxonase, lactonase and arylesterase activities of the paraoxonase enzyme present in HDL. We aim to analyze the antioxidant capacity of HDL in subjects with morbid obesity, and its evolution after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).
