Popis: Background Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is a serin protease inhibitor and a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis. Its serum level has significant associations with metabolic parameters. However, little is known about the association between PEDF levels and lipid parameters in renal transplanted (TX) patients. Therefore, our aim was to investigate the relationship between PEDF level and lipid parameters in TX patients.Methods Seventy TX patients (47 males, 23 females, mean age 51.7 ± 12.4 years) and 34 healthy controls were enrolled. We examined the serum creatinine, C-reactive protein, fasting glucose and lipid parameters right before, then 1 and 6 months after TX. High-density lipoprotein (HDL)-associated paraoxonase-1 (PON1) activities were measured spectrophotometrically. Lipoprotein subfractions were determined by Lipoprint. PEDF and oxidized low-density liporotein (oxLDL) levels were measured by ELISA.Results Before transplantation, patients had had a significantly higher PEDF level compared to control subjects (p
