Longitudinal lipid and lipoprotein subfraction concentrations in pregnant women of The Gambia. Data in all figures represent adjusted means ± SEM for all pooled samples (sample numbers = 101 at enrollment, 125 at 20 weeks, and 125 at 30 weeks). Different letters represent differences between gestational ages of each lipoprotein. A Lipoprotein-cholesterol concentrations at enrollment (mean 13.5 weeks of gestation), and 20 and 30 weeks of gestation. Lipoprotein-cholesterol, measured by NMR, is presented as triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) (closed circles), low-density lipoproteins (LDL) (open circles), and high-density lipoproteins (HDL) (closed triangles). B Lipoprotein subfraction concentrations at enrollment, 20 weeks and 30 weeks of gestation. Top panel. Total TRLP concentrations are presented as up triangles with a dashed line, medium TRLP as down triangles, small TRLP as open circles, and very small as closed circles. Middle panel. Total LDLP concentrations are presented as up triangle with a dashed line, large LDLP as down triangles, medium LDLP as open circles, and small LDLP as closed circles. Bottom panel. Total HDLP concentrations are presented as up triangle with a dashed line, large HDLP as down triangles, medium HDLP as open circles, and small HDLP as closed circles
