Consumption of Cuban Policosanol Improves Blood Pressure and Lipid Profile via Enhancement of HDL Functionality in Healthy Women Subjects: Randomized, Double-Blinded, and Placebo-Controlled Study

<div>Changes in activity of paraoxonase in HDL at 8 weeks after policosanol consumption. Error bars indicate the SD from three independent experiments with duplicate samples. (a) Equally diluted HDL<sub>2</sub> (20 mL, 2 mg/mL) was added to 230 mL of paraoxon-ethyl (Sigma Cat. No. D-9286) containing solution (90 mM Tris-HCl/3.6 mM NaCl/2 mM CaCl<sub>2</sub> [pH 8.5]). (b) Equally diluted HDL<sub>3</sub> (20 mL, 2 mg/mL) was added to 230 mL of paraoxon-ethyl (Sigma Cat. No. D-9286) containing solution (90 mM Tris-HCl/3.6 mM NaCl/2 mM CaCl<sub>2</sub> (pH 8.5)) (bar represents the standard deviation of the mean).</div>
