Relation between Methylmercury exposure and plasma paraoxonase activity in Inuit adults from Nunavik
BACKGROUND: Methylmercury (MeHg) exposure has been linked to an increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Paraoxonase 1 (PON1), an enzyme located in the high-densiry-lipoprotein (HDL) fraction of blood lipids, may... - 8From: Environmental Health Perspectives.
