During pregnancy, complex changes occur in lipid profiles. From the 12th week of gestation,
phospholipids, cholesterol (total, LDL, HDL), and triglycerides (TG) increase in response to …

Whereas accumulation of fat depots occurs during the first two-thirds of gestation, increased
adipose tissue lipolysis and hyperlipidemia develops in the last trimester. Insulin resistance …

Context: Elevated lipid levels during late pregnancy are associated with complications and
adverse outcome for both mother and newborn. However, it is inconclusive whether a …

More glucose crosses the placenta than any other substrate, but correlations between its
concentration in maternal plasma and fetal growth are not found consistently. The …

Lipoprotein lipid physiology in pregnancy has important implications for the developing fetus
and newborn as well as the mother. Cholesterol and essential fatty acids are essential for …

Serum cholesterol, triacylglycerols and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) subfractions were
determined in 120 primagravid women during normal gestation (40 in each trimester) and in …

During early pregnancy there is an increase in body fat accumulation, associated with both
hyperphagia and increased lipogenesis. During late pregnancy there is an accelerated …

Maternal fatty acid and lipid metabolism undergoes changes during pregnancy to facilitate
fetal growth and development. Different types of fatty acids have different roles in …

Background An atherogenic lipid profile is a risk factor for the initiation and progression of
atherosclerosis. This ultimately leads to cardiovascular disease. Women with a history of …

Historically dyslipidemia in pregnancy has been considered physiologic with little clinical
relevance. Lipids and lipoproteins have not been routinely measured at any time point …
