The importance of serum paraoxonase, arylesterase and ischemia modified albumin levels in evaluation of patients with Bell palsy

Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the possible roles of paraoxonase PON , arylesterase ARE , ischemia-modified albumin IMA and albumin-adjusted IMA levels in patients with Bell palsy. Patients and Methods: Thirty patients with Bell palsy and 30 healthy control subjects were included in the study. Serum PON, ARE, IMA, albumin-adjusted IMA and lipid profiles were measured. Results: Paraoxonase and ARE levels of the patient group were significantly lower than controls p
