Genetic and Environmental Influences on Insulin Levels and the Insulin Resistance Syndrome: an Analysis of Women Twins

15 Feb 1996

Abstract excerpt

Multiple factors may determine insulin resistance and the insulin resistance syndrome. The contributions of genes and environment to the distribution of fasting insulin levels and to the associations of fasting insulin with elements of the syndrome were evaluated in the second examination of the Kaiser Permanente Women Twins Study (Oakland, California, 1989-1990). Subjects included 556 white women (165 monozygous...
