Triglyceride Levels

Meaning

Triglyceride Levels refer to the concentration of triglycerides, the main form of fat stored in the body and transported in the blood, measured typically as part of a standard or advanced lipid panel. Elevated levels, or hypertriglyceridemia, are a critical clinical biomarker of metabolic dysfunction, strongly correlating with insulin resistance, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and increased cardiovascular risk. Monitoring these levels is essential in hormonal health, as they are highly sensitive to dietary carbohydrate intake, thyroid status, and sex hormone balance.
