The present study was aimed at comparing the level of total serum cholesterol and their subfractions, in premenopausal with that of their postmenopausal counterparts. Fifty (50) apparently healthy, nonpregnant females (25 premenopausal and 25 postmenopausal) were recruited for the study. Serum total cholesterol and their subfractions - high-density lipoproteins (HDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) and triglycerides (TG) were estimated using enzymatic and established mathematical methods. There was no significant difference in the total serum cholesterol and triglyceride between the two groups. There was however, a significant reduction of HDL and VLDL in the postmenopausal group (P
