The Responses of Serum and Adipose Fatty Acids to a One-Year Weight Reduction Regimen in Female Obese Monozygotic Twins
We have reported strong intrapair resemblances (IPRs) in serum phosphatidylcholine (PC) fatty acid composition within adult monozygotic twins living apart. This study assessed the contribution of genetic factors to changes in serum and adipose tissue fatty acids resulting from weight loss and followed by a subsequent year of weight maintenance. Eleven pairs of female obese monozygotic twins (age
