The study was carried out on 50 female polar foxes, which were divided into 5 experimental groups with respect to age (n - 10): from 1 to 5-years-of-age. The content of triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, total, free and estrified L-carnitine and the composition of fatty acids was determined in blood serum samples. The lowest content of triglycerides, total cholesterol and HDL fraction was found in one-year-old females (p < 0.05). It was observed that there was a tendency towards an increase in the content of triglycerides and LDL until 3-years-of-age and in total cholesterol and HDL until 4-years-of age. No significant, age-dependant changes in the content of individual fatty acids and L-carnitine were observed. Among fatty acids, the dominant ones were C16:0; C18:0; C16:1; C18:1 and n-6 PUFA, where C16:2 n-6 prevailed.
