title: [The cholesterol and alpha-cholesterol levels in pre-eclampsia].
abstract: Cholesterol and alpha-cholesterol were determined in blood serum of 78 pregnant women. The obtained results were compared with those of healthy pregnant women at the same gestational age. The studies were made by an automatic biochemical analyzer. The values of cholesterol increased in comparison with the control group at 25 weeks' gestation and reached the peak during 40 weeks' gestation. Alpha-cholesterol is a complex of lipoproteins with high density and cholesterol. The author found a reduction of alpha-cholesterol at 32 weeks' gestation especially in women with severe forms of preeclampsia. Delivery did not affect the values of cholesterol and alpha-cholesterol in women with preeclampsia.
