Data obtained from cynomolgus monkeys selected for total plasma cholesterol (TPC) response to dietary cholesterol and nonselected controls were used to estimate heritability of TPC and lipoprotein concentrations. A total of 345 observations were collected on 57 progeny from 18 sires. Heritability estimates obtained by a paternal half-sib analysis and by regression of offspring on mid-parent values were 0.45 +/- 0.24 and 0.69 +/- 0.18 for TPC, 0.63 +/- 0.30 and 0.64 +/- 0.17 for LDLC, and 0.80 +/- 0.36 and 0.59 +/- 0.14 for HDLC, respectively. These results suggest that TPC and lipoprotein concentrations are influenced by additive genetic effects in cynomolgus monkeys, establishing their importance as an animal model for studying the genetics of lipoproteins.
