Antioxidant enzyme
Prevents LDL oxidation
| Genotype | Impact | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| AA (Normal) | Low impact | Q/Q - lower PON1 activity, more susceptible to LDL oxidation and slower clearance of pesticide residues. Favour a Mediterranean, antioxidant-rich diet (olive oil, berries, leafy greens), choose organic where practical, and don't smoke. |
| AG (Carrier) | Normal | Q/R - intermediate PON1 antioxidant capacity. Keep antioxidant-rich foods (olive oil, colourful produce), wash produce well, and favour organic where practical. |
| GG (Variant) | Normal | R/R - higher PON1 activity and better protection against oxidised LDL. Maintain a balanced, antioxidant-rich diet. |
