We have investigated the reproducibility of (1) insulin sensitivity (S\*I) and glucose effectiveness (S\*G) as measured by the stable-label (one compartment) minimal model, and (2) insulin sensitivity (S\*Ib), plasma clearance rate (PCR), basal hepatic output (HGOb), and total hepatic glucose output

The contribution of hereditary and environmental factors to the pathogenesis of symptomatic gallstone disease is still unclear. We estimated the relative importance of genetic and environmental factors by analyzing a large population of twins. For this purpose, the Swedish Twin Registry was linked w
