Alterations in the concentrations of the cholesterol and triglyceride moieties of lipoproteins separated by ultracentrifugation and precipitation methods were studied at frequent intervals throughout pregnancy and the puerperium in a group of 43 women. The plasma cholesterol concentration rose on the average by about 50%, the major increase occurring in the 2nd trimester. The plasma triglyceride concentration rose 3-fold, reaching its peak during the 3rd trimester. All major lipoproteins participated in these changes. In very-low-density lipoproteins, both lipids rose in proportion to the ratio in nonpregnant women, but in low-density and high-density lipoproteins, the ratio of triglyceride to cholesterol rose. The triglyceride enrichment in low-density lipoproteins reflected the inclusion of intermediate-density lipoproteins (density 1.006 to 1.019). The occurrence of hypertension or pre-eclampsia led to a further increase in lipids in very-low-density lipoproteins. Hypercholesterolemia was greatest in women with pre-existing hypercholesterolemia and women in the 3rd pregnancy showed higher plasma cholesterol concentrations than women in the 1st pregnancy. Both cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations decreased significantly within 24 h of delivery and this was reflected in all lipoproteins. While triglyceride levels continued to decrease rapidly returning to nonpregnant levels during the puerperium, cholesterol in low-density lipoprotein remained elevated for at least 6-7 wk post-partum.
