title: Triglyceride and cholesterol levels during pregnancy in type I, type II and gestational diabetic women.
abstract: Longitudinal observation of fasting triglyceride and total cholesterol levels throughout gestation in 16 type I, 13 type II, 11 GDM and 14 normal pregnant women was made. There were no significant differences between the groups examined, except the higher levels of triglycerides in GDM group during the second trimester (p less than 0.05). Probably these results are due to "good" metabolic compensation, achieved in diabetic pregnant women.
