There seems little doubt that triglycerides are causally related to the progress of
atherogenesis. Mechanisms for this effect include adverse quantitative and qualitative …

The identification of cholesterol as a constituent of atheromatous plaques has aroused
recurrent waves of suspicion that lipid metabolism is in some way responsible for the …

The role of hypertriglyceridemia in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic cardiovascular
disease has been controversial for many years (1, 2). It remains so despite extensive …

Hypertriglyceridemia is commonly found in patients with coronary heart disease. The reason
for this connection, however, is not well understood, and two different views have been put …

Compelling evidence from meta-analysis of a number of clinical studies on a large
aggregate of patients has established an increased level of triglycerides as an independent …

heart disease (CHD). Objective: To assess the association between changes over time in …

This paper reviews the clinical trial data that offer insight into the question of whether, and in
what groups of people, triglycerides might be an appropriate therapeutic target for the …

Background Increasing evidence supports triglyceride (TG) concentration as a risk factor for
cardiovascular disease. The prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia during a period of rising …

Triglycerides (TGs) are immiscible in an aqueous phase and hence must be transported in
blood to systemic tissues by lipoproteins. Serum TG levels vary according to composition of …
