A Study on Estimation of Serum Lipid Profile and Apolipoprotein A-1 Levels in Pregnancies with Intrauterine Growth Restriction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is one of the major causes of perinatal mortality and morbidity. Pregnancies with IUGR are associated with an altered lipid profile which in turn affects the fetal growth. The study was conducted on 60 age matched female individuals divided into three groups. Group A consisted of 20 normal pregnant women,Group B was formed by 20 women diagnosed as IUGR pregnancies and Group C included 20 normal nonpregnant women. Lipid profile and Apolipoprotein A1(ApoA1) were estimated and compared among the groups. There was a significant decrease in the levels of Total Cholesterol (TC), Triglycerides (TG), Very Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (VLDL-C ) and Apo A1 in pregnancies with IUGR when compared with normal pregnancies. Hence this study was done to indicate that Lipid profile and ApoA1 can be helpful in diagnosing pregnancies with IUGR.

Abstract Background and Objective: Metabolic syndrome called a cluster of several metabolic disorders is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Genetic differences in leptin receptor gene are related with the concentration and activity of leptin in that these discrepancies can influence lipid levels. We aimed to determine the association between the leptin receptor gene p...
