Triglycerides Test Overview

Triglycerides are a form of lipid (fat) found in the blood. They are an important measure of heart health. Triglycerides are used by the body as a source of energy. The excess calories we eat are stored as triglycerides by the body for later use. When the amount of calorie intake exceeds the burnout, it leads to triglyceride buildup in the blood. Triglyceride test is used to measure the triglyceride levels in blood which is a marker for heart health and overall bodily functions.

An unhealthy lifestyle, smoking and lack of exercise increase the risk of hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol levels. Heart disease is also linked to high triglyceride levels. To protect yourself from the risk of heart disease, heart attack and stroke, it is important to maintain healthy levels of triglycerides.

Here's everything you need to know about triglycerides and the triglyceride serum test.

What are triglycerides?

Triglycerides are a type of fat present in your blood. Your body uses these fats for energy. However, when you consume extra calories, the body converts the calories into triglycerides and stores these in the fat cells. Consuming high-calorie foods increases the levels of triglycerides in your blood. Over time, triglycerides harden the walls of the arteries and increase the chances of heart attack, heart disease and stroke. Very high triglyceride levels can also cause inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis).
