Variance of plasma free and esterified cholesterol in adult twins.

J C Christian, S W Cheung, K Kang, F P Harmath, D J Huntzinger, R C Powell.   

Abstract

Total, free and esterified cholesterol were measured in the plasma, high density lipoproteins, low density lipoproteins, and total cholesterol in the very low density lipoproteins of 141 pairs of adult white male twins. Free cholesterol in plasma, high density lipoproteins and low density lipoproteins had significant genetic variance. Esterified cholesterol had greater total variance in dizygotic than monozygotic twins, interpreted as evidence for greater environmental influences on the two types of twins. After bias due to unequal environmental effects on the two types of twins was removed, there was no significant genetic variance for any esterified fraction of cholesterol.
