Human serum paraoxonase (PON) is an antioxidative enzyme, which circulates on high-density lipoproteins and appears to use oxidized phospholipids as physiological substrates. PON M/L55 substitution changes the ability of PON to prevent lipid oxidation. Urinary 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) (one of F2 -isoprostanes) may represent a non-invasive in vivo index of free radical generation and we propose that PON might influence the biosynthesis of 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) in the vasculature. We studied the urinary excretion of 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) and related it to PON M/L55 genotypes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (n = 55) and non-diabetic control subjects (n = 55). Urinary 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) was determined by competitive ELISA and the PON genotype by a PCR based restriction enzyme digestion method. LL homozygotes were compared to M-allele carriers (ML heterozygotes and MM homozygotes). The urinary excretion of 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) among non-diabetic non-smoking LL homozygotes was 3995.5 +/- 3352.8 ng/24-hour and among M-allele carriers 1689.8 +/- 1051.3 ng/24-hour (p = 0.017, ANCOVA; gender, hypertension, total cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL cholesterol as covariates). The excretion of 8-iso-PGF(2alpha), was increased in type 2 diabetes mellitus compared to non-diabetic control subjects. PON may thus protect against oxidative stress by destroying some biologically active lipids. Excretion of 8-iso-PGF(2alpha) is increased in type 2 diabetes, which may reflect oxidant injury.
