We collected blood samples to obtain serum to determine cholesterol triacylglyceride, lipoproteins (HDL,LDL,VLDL) and phospholipids. And some important trace elements such as iron, copper, zinc andselenium at day (0) before mating, at 7th day of pregnancy, at 14th dayof pregnancy, at 21st day of pregnancy, 28th day of pregnancy, and after parturition at32nd and 37th day.We observed that: Cholesterol : showed significant decreased at the day 14 th , 21 st and 28th of pregnancy ,the levels returned near to the normal values at the day 32 nd after parturition.
