[Lipid evolution during normal pregnancy].

We analyzed the relationship between the evolution of pregnancy and the amplitude of the lipid disorders in order to evaluate their chronologic transformations. This research concerned 83 pregnancies aged between 19-40 years during the 3 periods of gestation and 31 healthy control women in the same range of age. Our results showed an increased triglyceride in the 2nd period and an earlier decrease of both, cholesterol, phospholipid and apolipoproteins. These parameters showed a progressive increase of their blood concentrations during the 2nd and the 3rd period of pregnancy, in an other hand we evidenced a good correlation between gestational aged and these variations i.e.: triglyceride and mother's weight; this phenomenon could suggest an eventual role of the nutrition and the hygienic habitude in the lipid metabolism. The correlation between our observed lipid disorders and the mother's age or the parity were not significant.
