In order to describe the lipid profile by trimesters of pregnancy in healthy pregnant women, a descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 40 pregnant women between 20 and 35 years of age, from a universe of 110, belonging to the "Jimmy Hirzel" Hospital in Bayamo, Granma, between January 2017 and March 2019. The concentrations of total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and VLDL-cholesterol were determined. One-factor analysis of variance was used, and the Tukey's multiple comparison test of pairs of means Cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol, and VLDL-cholesterol varied significantly with gestational trimester total cholesterol increased in the second and third trimesters compared with the first, while triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol and VLDL-cholesterol increased in the third trimester compared to the first. HDL-cholesterol did not have a significant variation time during pregnancy. It is concluded that the values ​​of total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol and VLDL-cholesterol vary in relation to the trimester of pregnancy, they increase significantly in the third trimester compared to the first trimester of pregnancy, while HDL-cholesterol does not vary significantly during pregnancy.

Keywords : pregnancy; lipid metabolism; lipidic profile; triglycerides; total cholesterol; LDL cholesterol; HDL cholesterol; VLDL-cholesterol.
