[Analysis of familial aggregation of serum lipids]. 1992

Tianjin Medical College.

Twin model was studied to explain the familial aggregation of serum lipids by correlation analysis between different kinds of relatives. The phenomenon of familial aggregation was shown existing in the findings of serum cholesterol, HDL-Ch and LDL-Ch. Both effects from genetic and environmental factors were found. It is likely that there was maternal effects on cholesterol and LDL-Ch levels. The familial aggregation for TG was not very clear shown in this paper. Further study on genetic epidemiology of serum lipids is expected.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008075 Lipoproteins, HDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (4-13 nm) and dense (greater than 1.063 g/ml) particles. HDL lipoproteins, synthesized in the liver without a lipid core, accumulate cholesterol esters from peripheral tissues and transport them to the liver for re-utilization or elimination from the body (the reverse cholesterol transport). Their major protein component is APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I. HDL also shuttle APOLIPOPROTEINS C and APOLIPOPROTEINS E to and from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins during their catabolism. HDL plasma level has been inversely correlated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

D008077 Lipoproteins, LDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (18-25 nm) and light (1.019-1.063 g/ml) particles with a core composed mainly of CHOLESTEROL ESTERS and smaller amounts of TRIGLYCERIDES. The surface monolayer consists mostly of PHOSPHOLIPIDS, a single copy of APOLIPOPROTEIN B-100, and free cholesterol molecules. The main LDL function is to transport cholesterol and cholesterol esters to extrahepatic tissues.
