AB  - The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of age, sex and breed on plasma lipids and lipoprotein in camels (<I>Camelus dromedarius</I>). Significant variations in cholesterol, triglyceride and total lipids were observed between neonates, yearling and adult groups of camel. Adult have higher cholesterol (1.59±0.38 mmol L <SUP>-1</SUP>), triglyceride (1.02±0.1 mmol L <SUP>-1</SUP>) and total lipid (6.7±1.21 g L <SUP>-1</SUP>). The neonate cholesterol, triglyceride and total lipid were 1.04±0.032 mmol L <SUP>-1</SUP>; 0.71±0.09 mmol L <SUP>-1</SUP> and 5.24 g L <SUP>-1</SUP>, respectively. However, the corresponding levels for yearling were 1.18±0.21; 0.83±0.08 mmol L <SUP>-1</SUP> and 5.50±1.05 g L <SUP>-1</SUP>, respectively. Breed-related differences were evident; Arabi camels showed higher lipid status than Anafi. Cholesterol, triglyceride and total lipids were 1.49±0.21, 1.09±0.18 mmol L <SUP>-1</SUP> and 6.69±1.10 g L <SUP>-1</SUP> in Arabi and 0.91±0.30, 0.81±0.20 mmol L <SUP>-1</SUP> and 4.42±1.09 g L <SUP>-1</SUP> in Anafi, respectively. Sex showed insignificant effect on lipid status.
