maternal lipid levels were determined based on one
blood sample, taken in a non-fasting state randomly during the
day; this could have resulted in a distorted maternal lipid profile.
However, a large Danish study in adults showed that, in contrast to
TG and TC, ApoA1 and ApoB did not alter after normal food intake
[29]. In addition, high correlations (range: 0.90e0.99; p < 0.001)
were found between fasting and postprandial TG and TC Furthermore, in normal conditions the foetus is also exposed to
non-fasting maternal lipids for most of the day.
