Notes
Triglycerides, esters of glycerol and three fatty acids, are the main constituent of tissue storage fat and serve as a source of energy for the body. They are transported in the bloodstream in lipoprotein complexes. The clinical significance of triglycerides and other lipids relates to their contribution to coronary heart disease and lipoprotein disorders. Disease states or conditions associated with an elevation in triglycerides include type 2 diabetes, obesity, pregnancy, infection, inflammation, nephrotic syndrome, chronic renal failure and biliary cirrhosis/obstruction.
