Study of variations in lipid profile in different trimesters of pregnancy

Phosphotungustic Acid Catalysed Oxidation of Aliphatic Hydroxy Acids by N-chlorosuccinimide in Aqueous Acetic Medium

“…The present study fit well with the one reported in oxidation of hydroxy acids by NBSA [16] , NCSA [17] etc., which depicts the validity of a similar mechanism being operative in the probed system as their ∆G # values are quite high (87.35 to 87.67 kJ mol -1 ). By and large ∆H # (52.42 to 56.50 kJ mol -1 ) values also show a similar trend.…”

Maternal plasma lipid concentration in third trimester of women with preeclampsia and normotensive pregnancy

“…This could be attributed to different sample size and time of sampling for lipid profile measurement. LDL-C was higher among cases when compared to controls [102.22 ± 14.21 vs 68.35 ± 15.41 respectively], the results were previously reported by Mishra et al [21] Kandimalla et al [22] concluded that LDL-C measurements were established to be significantly elevated in the women with PET.…”

Biochemical variation and association of Maternal Lipid Profile with Body Mass Index during Pregnancy

“…For LDL-C (mg/dl), another similar study reports 114.1±20.2; 132.6±21.6; 154.3±25.2 in 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd trimester respectively and in control 103.1±19.2 [9]. The mean LDL-C was estimated as 84.4±11.2; 109±12.3; 138±12.7 with advanced pregnancy and in control as 88.3±11.1 as depicted in other similar case control study [2] which is in agreement with current findings. Pusukuru et al, estimated the mean LDL-C levels in second and third trimester were 92.41±18.94 mg/dl and 137.82±13.45 mg/dl respectively [60] which follows the increasing pattern comparable to our study .…”

“…The elevation in TC is attributed to formation of zygote in the wall of the uterus [2]. One group of researchers finding demonstrates that a mother's serum cholesterol concentrations rise by approximately 50-70% during pregnancy compared to normal concentrations [63].…”

“…Lipogenesis with extra accumulation of fat in body occurs in early pregnancy whereas in later stages of pregnancy increased breakdown of fat helps in fetal development. The energy provided by lipid is used in cellular proliferation of uterus, blood volume expansion of mother, implantation of fetus in uterus, uteroplacental, and fetal development [2]. Maternal plasma lipids are significantly elevated during pregnancy which is affected by maternal hormonal changes as rise in insulin, progesterone, β-estradiol and human placental lactogen [3].…”
