Is there a relationship between serum paraoxonase level and epicardial fat tissue thickness?

CONCLUSION: Serum PON 1level is not correlated with the epicardial fat tissue thickness. But PON 1 level is lower in patients with epicardial fat tissue thickness 7 mm and over. Therefore, increased atherosclerosis progression can be found among patients with 7 mm and higher epicardial fat tissue thickness.
