triglyceride levels are a risk factor for atherosclerosis
- Elevated triglyceride levels may be a risk factor for atherosclerosis. Highly elevated triglyceride levels may also cause fatty liver disease and pancreatitis.
- High triglyceride levels can also be associated with diabetes, kidney disease, and the use of some medications.
- Triglycerides are the main ingredient in vegetable oils and animal fats.
The triglyceride test measures the level of triglycerides in the blood. - Fasting for 9 to 12 hours before the triglyceride test is required.
Normal triglyceride levels in the blood are less than 150 mg per deciliter (mg/dL). - Triglyceride levels can be controlled to some extent by lifestyle modifications and, when necessary, medications.
How to Lower Triglycerides Naturally
Triglycerides can be lowered without drugs. For example, they can be lowered naturally through diet changes, decreasing consumption of alcohol or sugary beverages, by increasing physical activity, by losing weight, and other ways. As little as 5% to 10% reduction in body weight may lower triglycerides. The table below summarizes how much benefit different changes can effect.
Certain diseases and conditions may cause elevated triglyceride blood levels, for example:
Poorly-controlled diabetes
Kidney disease
Cirrhosis of the liver or other liver diseases
Hypothyroidism
Some medications (for example, beta-blockers, diuretics, birth control pills)
Alcohol consumption can raise triglyceride blood levels by causing the liver to produce more fatty acids. However, there are some beneficial aspects of moderate alcohol consumption, defined as one alcoholic beverage per day (a glass of wine, a bottle of beer, or an ounce of hard liquor), that may balance this triglyceride rise.
Moderate alcohol consumption may mildly increase HDL (the good cholesterol) levels in the bloodstream and red wine, which contains antioxidants, may decrease the risk of heart disease. However, it is not recommended that people start to drink alcohol to obtain these effects.

Description: Omega 3 fatty acid triglycerides can be used as an excipient. Pharmaceutical excipients, or pharmaceutical auxiliaries, refer to other chemical substances used in the pharmaceutical process other than pharmaceutical ingredients. Pharmaceutical excipients generally refer to inactive ingredients in pharmaceutical preparations, which can improve the stability, solubility and processability of pharmaceutical preparations. Pharmaceutical excipients also affect the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) processes of co-administered drugs[1]. |

Description: This assay employs the competitive inhibition enzyme immunoassay technique. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with TG protein. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to TG. Next, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. After TMB substrate solution is added. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm ± 10nm. The concentration of TG in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve. |
