Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To study the contribution of genetic factors to the variance of serum leptin concentration in healthy, normotensive twins. METHODS: A total of 57 pairs of twins were investigated: 28 female and 19 male pairs of monozygotic(MZ) twins, and 6 female and 4 male pairs of dizygotic(DZ) twins. The zygosity of twins was determined by comparing the concordance of the genotype of nine fluorescence-labeled...
