Abstract excerpt
Based on longitudinal twin data in women, we have previously demonstrated a genetic influence on changes in lipoprotein risk factors, blood pressure measurements, and body mass index over a decade. The present study examined the linkage between changes in lipoprotein variables and candidate genes encoding the hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), hepatic lipase (HL), and lipoprotein lipase (LPL). The sample consisted...
