Ok so I said what should I do? She said exercise and cut back on carbohydrates and rice...I said I always exercise and I don't even eat rice but once in a blue moon. And because she's a BUSY endocrynologist, she kinda talked fast and I couldn't ask her anything else. SO, does anyone know what triglycerides are and is it harmful if they're too high?

Conversion from glucose to glycogen & triglycerides questions? When people eat too much carbs, and the glucose level rises too high, the body will convert the excess glucose to glycogen (which is stored in the liver?) and triglycerides (fat?). Does the liver go... ok, this batch of glucose will become glycogen. Then when the next batch comes in, it goes, well, now I feel like some triglycerides. Or are both the output of the same process? If they are not result of the same process, how does the liver know when to make glycogen and when to make triglycerides? Thanks.
Triglycerides are off the charts? This question is pretty much a continuation of a question i've already asked -- "before and after the doctor." My husband, who is 25, just had a rude awakening at the doctor today. His triglycerides are 1,879, his total cholesterol is 328, and his HDL is 27. All of these numbers seem outrageous to me and the doctor was shocked, saying he's never seen numbers like that in a 25 year old. His blood pressure was also 152/110. My husband has an extensive history of heart disease in his family (his grandpa having 6 heart attacks and a triple bypass, and his dad also had bypass surgery). It's obviously not all genetics, I know how he eats and it's not good. I need some good suggestions from people who know what they're talking about to tell me what to do to help him bring down these numbers. I don't want comments like "take out a life insurance policy." If anyone can give me some good input on this situation, I'd appreciate it. Also, his medication is Tricor and Lisinopril.
Triglycerides elevated? My friend's labwork came back. Her cholesterol is 300+ and her triglycerides are 1200+. That's not a typo. 1200+. She wont change her diet or employ a chef (she can totally afford to). What does this mean in regards to her heart health?
Triglycerides waaaaaaaay too high!? My total cholesterol is normal but my doc said my Triglycerides are waaaaaaaaaaay too high....they've hit the 200's and two years ago were normal. I'm not a big steak eater....I don't eat fast food....I actually competed in an Ironman in 2004, I do yoga, and brazilian jiu jitsu. What could cause my tri's to shoot up so high? I read that I'm at risk for heart attack but I'm only 35. WTH!!! Could stress raise my tris?
triglycerides Question? When I went for my annual check up my bp was fine...and so was my LDL's & HDL's but my triglycerides were on the high side. My doc said not to worry. Is this normal?
Triglycerides / HDL ratio. Is this statement correct? "The ratio between triglycerides and HDL (“good”) cholesterol may be an even better predictor of heart attack than the ratio between good and bad LDL cholesterol". I have found it here: http://heart.healthcentersonline.com/cholesterol/triglycerides4.cfm Your _informed_ opinion would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Marginally relevant, but interesting point on page 5 of 7: "High triglyceride levels can affect the accuracy of the formula used to calculate LDL levels. Unlike HDL and triglycerides, LDL is not measured directly in most blood tests because it is difficult and expensive to do so. Instead, physicians subtract HDL and one-fifth of triglycerides from the total cholesterol to calculate the LDL. In other words, say a person has a total cholesterol level of 270. The HDL level, which is measured directly, is 30. The triglyceride level is 250, but this result is divided by 5 to get a score of 50. LDL (270) is calculated by subtracting HDL (30) and triglyceride (50). The LDL level is 190, which is high (see Cholesterol & Your Health)." Rudebox77 convert gained points to cash if you can. IOW, get a life ? Maybe ? VERY interesting, SG ! Wtng 4 more input......4 now tho, all's I can say is anyone sporting a _27% BA score_ 'sgot CREDIBILITY. That's rare.

Very high triglycerides (878)... diet advice? I'm male, 32, vegetarian, 5'10", 176 lbs. I recently got some blood levels checked, and apart from slightly-higher-than-average LDL and slightly-lower-than-average HDL, my triglycerides value is 878 (eight hundred and seventy eight). That's pretty high, it seems. Now: 1. I used to average 10 drinks a week; it's down to three. 2. I used to smoke 40 a day; I've quit. 3. I used to get zero exercise; I now walk an hour a day. I'll get on to more serious exercise when I can, but what should I be doing about my diet? I'm vegetarian, but I'd eat 300 grams of cheese as part of breakfast every once in a while (Brie, in case you're wondering!), or use about 80 grams of butter on my bread. Things like that... But there's this whole thing about what to avoid: alcohol, or fat, or carbohydrates, or sugar?? I'm lost! Until I had this checkup, I'd never thought about diet... Please help! I've been prescribed medication, and given my lifestyle changes, how long would it take for the TG to come down?

Prolonged Fasting result in Falsely elevated Triglycerides? Hihi.. I have been looking for infos on the impact of prolonged fasting( > 14hrs) effects on triglycerides. Does anyone know how much effects it can have on triglycerides? What is the metabolic pathway involved that helps the liver breaks down "something" to produce tryiglycerides so the TG will be falsely increased under prolonged fasting(eg like starvation). Is the TG increase dramatic? Is this not reccomanded when a fasting lab test is necessary? Can anyone explain the metabolic pathway? thx !~ i have returned my biochem to my lecturer.. =x Anyone from lab wish to share some experience? =)

My last blood test(Nov 30 07) showed 332 for triglycerides, which I know is high; my cholesterol is normal.? I've been taking creatinine and protein shakes for the last 3 months; I work out 5 days a week and do cardio at least 3 times a week, and that's the time the triglycerides went up from 172 in July 07 to 332 in Nov 07. I eat very healthy and do a lot of exercise and cardio; I'm very muscular so I'm a big guy for my height but I only have 20% fat weight. Is this increase in triglycerides normal in such a short period of time? and is there a study showing that creatinine and protein suplements can affect the liver producing more triglycerides; my kidney doctor ckeched the kidney functions and glucose and all that hasn't been affected at all. Please advice.

Besides conventional medication, what kind of non-traditional medication reduces triglycerides? I'm interested in finding out if anybody has experimented with non-traditional (herbs, etc) ways to reduce either their cholesterol or triglyceride levels? I am currently taking gemfibrozil & niaspan (2000 mg) and I can't get below 400 on my triglyceride level. It was 1,400. It is genetic, but I could still help myself out by eating better, believe me. Easier said than done, though. I worry about my liver functions holding up over time with the conventional medications. Last summer I was in the best shape of my life and I still had high ldl, low hdl and high triglycerides. Much improved, but still not a pretty picture.

Does anyone have high Triglycerides and Hyper Thyroid? I got a full physical-- results of fasting blood test --Triglycerides 299 &Thyroid "barely" abnormal Hyper. I am not losing weight, I am overweight, I'm 5'2" 140 lb. My dad has to test his blood sugar several times a day (does not yet take medication) and my paternal grandmother has diabetes, but my blood sugar came back 87. I have had several situations where I get clammy, shaky so much so I can hardly walk, anxious & have nausea, after I get some food it takes about a 1/2 hr. to feel normal again. I also get real tired in the afternoon, plus I have hemorhoid problems which might have to be removed surgically (yes, I am a mess). I will be following up with my Doc but does anyone out there have these types of problems & how have you handled them? Thanks for all constructive advice--please don't tell me to get off my fat butt and get some exercise--I do swim, do water aerobics and get on my treadmill. Thank you in advance to all who reply.
Symptoms of high cholesterol and triglycerides? My total cholesterol is 239, triglyecerides are 274, and LDL is 143. Can this condition make you FEEL like you have hypoglycemia? Why do I get shaky, sick, and feel like I am starving all of a sudden like my sugar is low when my blood sugar test turned out great? Do cholesterol and triglycerides give you the same kind of symptoms or is something else going on? i am only 23 and i am getting ready to be treated for cholesterol with zocor if my dieting doesn't bring these levels down within the next 3 months. i was just up late and wondering if this can make you feel like you have low blood sugar. or what are some symptoms that come with it because i can't find them on the internet??
