Contents This work aimed to describe the activity of paraoxonase 1 ( PON 1) in serum, follicular fluid and seminal plasma of sheep. Average serum PON 1 activity was 286.8 ± 96.2 U/ml in females and 237.6 ± 18.9 U/ml in males. There was a positive correlation between PON 1 activity in serum and follicular fluid in females, being twice higher in serum than in follicular fluid (148.8 ± 15.7 U/ml). PON 1 activity in males’ serum was 10‐fold higher than in seminal plasma (21.18 ± 14.2 U/ml), and there was no correlation between PON 1 activity in both compartments. Finally, this work suggests that PON 1 activity of in sheep is higher compared to other mammalian species, and there is an association between PON 1 in serum and follicular fluid only.
