Triglycerides
Triglycerides are a type of fat found in the blood. High levels of triglycerides are associated with an increased risk of heart disease and other health problems.
iollo markers that associate with Triglycerides
Arachidonic acid
Arachidonic acid is an omega-6 fatty acid that can be incorporated into triglycerides. Elevated levels may increase triglyceride production and accumulation.

Docosahexaenoic acid
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 fatty acid. While high omega-3 intake is associated with lower triglycerides, elevated free DHA may still contribute to some triglyceride production.

Eicosapentaenoic acid
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is an omega-3 fatty acid. While high omega-3 intake is associated with lower triglycerides, elevated free EPA may still contribute to some triglyceride production.

Myristic acid
Myristic acid is a saturated fatty acid found in triglycerides. High levels of myristic acid may promote triglyceride synthesis.

Palmitic acid
Palmitic acid is one of the most common saturated fatty acids in the body. Elevated free palmitic acid can increase triglyceride synthesis and VLDL secretion from the liver.
