Smoking status and attractiveness among exemplar and prototypical identical twins discordant for smoking
Smoking is associated with negative health of skin and increased signs of facial ageing. We aimed to address two questions about smoking and appearance: (1) does facial appearance alone provide an indication of smoking status, and (2) how does smoking affect the attractiveness of faces? We used faces of identical twins discordant for smoking, and prototypes made by averaging the faces of the tw...
متن کاملNovel Epigenetic Changes Unveiled by Monozygotic Twins Discordant for Smoking Habits
Exposure to cigarette smoking affects the epigenome and could increase the risk of developing diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disorders. Changes in DNA methylation associated with smoking may help to identify molecular pathways that contribute to disease etiology. Previous studies are not completely concordant in the identification of differentially methylated regions in the DNA of s...
متن کاملVasoactive and atherogenic effects of cigarette smoking: a study of monozygotic twins discordant for smoking.
The mechanism by which atherosclerotic disease is induced by cigarette smoking has not yet been identified unequivocally. Chronic cigarette smoking and the generation of vasoactive prostanoids and the size of carotid atherosclerotic plaques were studied in nine pairs of identical male twins discordant for smoking for over 20 years. The urinary excretion of 2,3-dinor-thromboxane B2 (thromboxane ...
متن کاملNeuroleptic malignant syndrome and catatonia: one entity or two?
(Alder et al 1985). Both patients were heavy smokers, and tobacco smoking has been shown to interfere with the protective action of estrogens on bone mineralization. Pocock et al (1989) showed this difference in the lumbar spine and proximal femur bone densities in identical twins discordant for smoking. Polydipsia is another potential risk factor for osteoporosis, since the resulting secondary...
متن کاملUlcerative colitis and Crohn's disease in an unselected population of monozygotic and dizygotic twins. A study of heritability and the influence of smoking.
By running the Swedish twin registry containing about 25,000 pairs of twins of the same sex together with the central national diagnosis register of hospital inpatients, 80 twin pairs suffering from inflammatory bowel disease were found. In the ulcerative colitis group one of 16 monozygotic pairs was concordant for the disease, but all the other 20 pairs (dizygotic or unknown zygosity) were dis...
