Abstract: Objective: The objective of this research work is to assess the impact of month of Ramadan on the profile of lipid and sugar of blood in Jinnah Hospital Lahore. Methodology: This research work carried out on sixty willing healthy adults. This research work was carried out in the month of Ramadan from May to June 2018. Every willing adult was observing fasting for a mean duration of twelve hours in a day. We took the samples of blood from them on very first and last week of holy month Ramadan. The analysis of the level of TC (Total Cholesterol), VLDLc (Very Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol), LDLc (Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol), HDLc (High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol), TG (Triglyceride) and sugar of blood carried out. Results: The low density lipoprotein cholesterol was very less at the end of month of fasting. A decrease in the mean value of total cholesterol was available at the end of Ramadan but this disparity was not much statistical significant. The rise in the values of HDLc, triglyceride, VLDLc & sugar of blood was not much significant. Conclusion: There is very advantageous impact of the fasting of Ramadan on the low density lipoprotein cholesterol. KEY WORDS: Cholesterol, Fasting, Impact, Willing, Adult, Methodology, Blood Sugar, Lipoprotein.
