Several changes occurs in menopausal phase in women which may lead to changes in metabolism of lipids, protein and carbohydrates. The objective of this study was to assess the concentration of total serum lipid profile, in pre and post menopausal Sudanese women. This is descriptive case control study carried in Babanosawestkord of an .One hundred (100) apparently healthy, non pregnant females (40premenopausal and 60 post menopausal) were recruited for the study. Serum total cholesterol and the fractions- high-density lipoproteins (HDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and triglycerides (TG) were estimated using enzymatic and established mathematical methods. The (mean±SD)of total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL and Triglyceride in post menopause respectively were (159.5±14.5, 62.6± 8, 79.1± 9.7, 104.6±9.4).while The (mean ±SD)of total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL and Triglyceride in pre menopause Respectively were(137.2 ± 12.5, 84,8±6,5,31.7± 8,5,103.4 ±7.3). The results showed that there was significant difference in the total serum cholesterol between the two groups. There was however, a significant reduction of HDL in the postmenopausal group (P value
