Plasma triglyceride levels are a strong cardiovascular risk marker. However, triglyceride–lowering therapies have not demonstrated a reduction in cardiovascular events, suggesting that triglycerides may serve as surrogate markers for other athe...

Lipoproteins are a major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD). Among the lipoproteins, low-density lipoproteins (LDL) have been shown to be causally associated with ASCVD development. In contrast, triglycerides or triglycer...

While cholesterol content in high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) is a well-established inverse marker of cardiovascular risk, the importance of HDL–triglyceride (HDL-TG) concentration is not well known. We aim to examine plasma HDL-TG concentratio...

Triglycerides are the main constituents of lipids, which are the fatty acids of glycerol. Natural organic triglycerides (viz. virgin vegetable oils, recycled cooking oils, and animal fats) are the main sources for biodiesel production. Biodiesel (mon...

The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that the intake of Policaptil Gel Retard^® (PGR) is able to affect appetite, metabolic and hormonal postprandial profile in obese children. 46 obese children were randomly assigned to treatment with...

A number of food micronutrients are reported to influence markers of cardio-metabolic health. There is an expectation that there may be an optimal endocrine profile, with triglycerides as a key factor, which may help minimise atherosclerotic disease...

Background: Although elevated triglyceride (TG) levels are consistently associated with hypertension in observational studies, whether TGs have a causal effect on hypertension remains uncertain, and evidence in East Asian populations is limited. Meth...

The childhood obesity epidemic continues to be a challenge. Maternal obesity and excessive infant weight gain are strong predictors of childhood obesity, which itself is a major risk factor for adult obesity. The primary source of nutrition during ea...

In frail older adults (mean age 85 years old), a 3-month supplementation with a low dose (6 g/day) of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs; C8:0 and C10:0) given at a meal increased muscle mass and function, relative to supplementation with long-chain tr...

Triglyceride (TG) and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) have been acknowledged to be risk factors for vascular insults, but their impacts on the brain system remain elusive. To fill in some gaps, we investigated associations of TG and AIP with brain...

Post-meal triglycerides are an independent cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor, but the ideal high-fat meal formulation has yet to be standardized and is one challenge prohibiting widespread clinical adoption of postprandial triglyceride assessm...
