In this regard, simple laboratory tests such as routine biochemistry tests, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein could be carried out to exclude potential confounders. Also, dietary supplements such as vitamin C, vitamin E, iron, zinc and flavonoids can alter PON-1 activity [4] . Another contributing factor for PON-1 activity is the use of medicine: lipid-lowering drugs, aspirin, fenofibrate, dexamethasone and phenobarbital also affect PON-1 activity [5] .
