Triglyceride News and Research

RSS

Triglycerides are a type of fat in the bloodstream and fat tissue. Too much of this type of fat can contribute to the hardening and narrowing of your arteries. This puts you at risk of having a heart attack or stroke. Diseases such as diabetes, obesity, kidney failure or alcoholism can cause high triglycerides. Often, high triglycerides occur along with high levels of cholesterol, another type of fat. Triglycerides are measured along with cholesterol as part of a blood test. Normal triglyceride levels are below 150. Levels above 200 are high.

Light physical activity emerges as powerful tool to reverse childhood inactivity's cholesterol risk

Increased sedentary time in childhood can raise cholesterol levels by two thirds as an adult, leading to heart problems and even premature death - but a new study has found light physical activity may completely reverse the risks and is far more effective than moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.

Study sheds light on the complex relationship between serum lipids, lipid-modifying targets, and cholelithiasis

A new study published in the journal Gut has shed light on the complex relationship between serum lipids, lipid-modifying targets, and cholelithiasis, a common condition characterized by the formation of gallstones.

Study identifies key markers for early detection of fatty liver disease in obese and non-obese individuals

In a study published in 'Scientific Reports', researchers found that insulin resistance markers TyG-BMI and HOMA-IR effectively predict non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) risks in non-obese and obese individuals without diabetes, respectively. These findings suggest new, non-invasive methods for early NAFLD detection, particularly in atypical non-obese cases.
