title: [Lipoproteinemia throughout puberty].
abstract: In prepubertal children, total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol concentrations are identical in both sexes, while total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol and LDL + VLDL cholesterol/ HDL cholesterol ratios are slightly higher in girls. During puberty, total cholesterol concentrations decrease slightly more in boys than in girls; HDL cholesterol concentrations remain unchanged in girls but decrease significantly in boys. When puberty is completed, in comparison to prepubertal values, total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol and total cholesterol/LDL + VLDL cholesterol ratios are significantly increased in boys, while they are unchanged in girls. During puberty, rises in triglyceride concentrations are significant in boys only.
