The pregnancy is associated with hyperlipoproteinemia including an increased level of total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL2 and HDL3-cholesterol and triglycerides. The mechanism of pregnancy associated hyperlipoproteinemia remain unclear. The aim of the study was to estimate the relationship between the newborn body mass at delivery and changed by pregnancy lipid-lipoprotein blood profile in women. Studies were carried out in the cases of 67 women. Blood samples were studied at 25 week of pregnancy, during the labor, and at 5th day after delivery. No influence of the pregnancy-changed lipid-lipoprotein pattern of the mothers on the body mass of newborns was found in any of the investigated period.
