In this sense, early pregnancy is an anabolic phase characterized by fat accumulation in maternal depots (2, 4, 12), while the third trimester is a catabolic condition with a breakdown of fat deposits and hyperlipidemia, and a decrease in removal the TG-rich lipoproteins from the circulation by LPL, favoring the placental lipid transport to the fetus (2, 37, 38). This evidence concerns the gene LPL and hyperlipidemia.
