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
