Despite only scanty research on the effects of fasting in Ramadan, a few researchers have suggested that there is an increase in serum lipids while fasting during the month of Ramadan. Furthermore, concerns have been raised about the possible adverse effects of fasting on serum lipids. In this article some explanations are provided for the probable causes of raised lipids during fasting in Ramadan.
