Description
Concentration of serum lipids and lipoproteins was determined on 32 pregnant camels (Camelus dromedarius) at term and was compared with those of 31 non-pregnant camels. Variations in the serum concentrations of total cholesterol, triglycerides, total lipid, and some lipoproteins such as high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and very low-density lipoprotein were investigated. Sera from pregnant group had significantly higher mean triglycerides and very low-density lipoprotein concentrations. However, total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein showed significantly low concentrations. Total lipid and LDL-C did not differ significantly.
