Total Cholesterol |
Total Cholesterol obtained while fasting at 24-28 weeks gestation. Different blood tests can be done to measure each type of cholesterol. Total cholesterol level measures all types of cholesterol in the blood. |
at 24-28 weeks gestation |

Total Cholesterol |
Total Cholesterol obtained while fasting at 36 weeks gestation. Different blood tests can be done to measure each type of cholesterol. Total cholesterol level measures all types of cholesterol in the blood. |

High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL) |
High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL) obtained while fasting at 24-28 weeks. HDL helps keep arteries open and reduces the risk for heart attack. High levels of HDL may be nearly as protective for the heart as low levels of LDL |

Triglycerides |
Triglycerides obtained while fasting at 24-28 weeks gestation. Triglycerides interact with HDL cholesterol in such a way that HDL levels fall as triglyceride levels rise. High triglyceride levels are also associated with the inflammatory response -- the harmful effect of an overactive immune system that can cause considerable damage to cells and tissues, including the arteries. |

Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL) |
Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL) obtained while fasting at 24-28 weeks gestation. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) transports about 75% of the blood's cholesterol to the body's cells. Heart disease is least likely to occur among people with the lowest LDL levels. Lowering LDL is the primary goal of cholesterol drug and lifestyle therapy. |

Very-low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (VLDL) |
Very-low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (VLDL) obtained while fasting at 24-28 weeks gestation. VLDL is one of the three main types of lipoproteins. Lipoproteins are made up of cholesterol, triglycerides, and proteins. They move cholesterol, triglycerides, and other lipids (fats) around the body. |

Total Cholesterol/HDL Ratio |
Total Cholesterol/HDL Ratio obtained while fasting at 24-28 weeks gestation. The total cholesterol /HDL ratio is the proportion of one type of cholesterol to all the other cholesterol in the blood. Total cholesterol includes three substances HDL, LDL, and VLDL. Higher ratios indicate greater risk of heart coronary heart disease. |
