Individual Plasma Phospholipids in Healthy Young Women

Plasma Lipids in Recurrent Jaundice of Pregnancy

“…The results of the analyses performed than in normal pregnancy, while the after delivery are shown in table I. triglyceride values tended to be slightly The blood sample obtained after long higher. The values for free fatty acids intervals, 4 weeks or more after delivery, were very unevenly distributed and there showed levels well in agreement with (9).…”

Plasma Lipid Fractions, Including Individual Phospholipids, at Various Stages of Pregnancy

“…Triglycerides showed the greatest percentage increase during pregnancy. For the statistical calculations of the triglyceride values, the logarithmic conversion was used, since it has been found in non-pregnant individuals that the absolute values of triglycerides show a skew distribution which becomes more symmetrical after conversion to the logarithm (15,24,31). I t is not certain that such a log-normal distribution is found also during every stage of the pregnancy, and the present material does not allow of conclusions on this question.…”

“…T h e aim of the present investigation was to study the phospholipid pattern a n d the relationship between different lipid fractions a t various stages of pregnancy. T h e results were also compared with the corresponding findings i n a study of healthy young women (31). 25 years.…”

“…Single aliquots of 2-5 ml from each extract were evaporated; dissolved in 6 ml of chloroform and shaken To study the variation of different lipid fractions with duration of pregnancy, a linear regression was assumed, except in the case of triglycerides. I n non-pregnant women it has been shown that the distribution of triglyceride values is not symmetrical, and the assumption was made that log (10 x triglycerides) is approximately normally distrib-uted as no significant asymmetry was found (31). In the present study a similar distribution was assumed and thus a regression of the linear type: log Y = a + b X was assumed, where Y = (10 x triglycerides) and X = time of pregnancy in weeks.…”

Individual Plasma Phospholipids in Women: A Comparison of Menstruating and Menopausal 48 Year‐old Women

“…Table I shows the results obtained in the menopausal and menstruating 48-year old women. The results for a group of 23-year old women previously investigated in the same laboratory (5) are also included in the table.…”
