Triglycerides can be defined as high when they exceed 200mg / dl in plasma, at FAST; this last requirement is fundamental since, in the post-prandial hours, part of the energy molecules (especially glucose and alcohol, but also amino acids) are converted into triglycerides subsequently incorporated into the VLDL, which are then distributed throughout the adipose tissue bodily. By measuring the triglycerides in the blood of a healthy subject after a meal, high triglyceride values would be highlighted which, on the other hand, would NOT truthfully reflect the subject's metabolic condition.
Fasting high triglycerides are caused, aggravated, or related to:
- Genetic diseases or predispositions (primary or familial hypertriglyceridemia - type IV and V)
- Excessive calorie diet
- Excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages
- Excessively abundant meals
- Insufficiency of physical and motor activity
- Too high glycemic loads
- Excessive consumption of carbohydrates
- Obesity
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus
- Nephrotic syndrome
- Kidney failure
- Taking steroid drugs (cortisone)
On the other hand, high triglycerides can be reduced by a good intake of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids of the ω3 type and also by a correct intake of dietary fiber, a nutritional component frequently neglected by those suffering from hypertriglyceridemia due to diet.
