Serum studies in 90 randomly selected lactating women of three socioeconomic (low, middle and high) and age (below 25, 26, 32 and above 33 years) groups of Faisalabad, Pakistan, revealed an overall concentration of Beta-carotene and vitamin-A to be 170.12 plus minus 88.64 and 54.72 plus minus 22.69 Mew g/100 ml, respectively. The Beta-carotene and vitamin-A showed non- significant difference between socioeconomic and age groups, however, Beta-carotene was relatively higher in young women and those belonging to higher socioeconomic group, whereas vitamin-A was relatively higher in old women and those belonging to middle socioeconomic group. The serum total proteins, albumin, globulins and A:G ratio during present study was 5.48 plus minus 1.24 g/100 ml, 2.82 plus minus 1.27 g/100 ml, 2.68 plus minus 1.44 g/100 ml and 1.66 plus minus 1.78 g/100 ml, respectively. The total proteins and albumin showed non-significant difference between socioeconomic and age groups while globulins and A:G ratio revealed higher (P 0.05) values in high and middle socioeconomic groups, respectively.
