Term Description

Used to differentiate true hypertriglyceridemia from pseudohypertriglyceridemia. Triglyceride is normally measured by hydrolyzing triglycerides and measuring the amount of glycerol, but in certain conditions such as glycerol kinase deficiency, free glycerol is significantly elevated, which causes triglyceride to appear falsely elevated. In this assay, free glycerol is removed prior to hydrolysis, so that the glycerol measurement after hydrolysis is a true representation of the triglyceride measurement.

Part Description

LP15275-8   Triglyceride
A triglyceride (TG, triacylglycerol, TAG, or triacylglyceride) is an ester derived from glycerol and three fatty acids. There are many triglycerides, depending on the oil source, some are highly unsaturated, some less so. Triglycerides are the main constituents of vegetable oil (typically more unsaturated) and animal fats (typically more saturated). In humans, triglycerides are a mechanism for storing unused calories, and their high concentrations in blood correlates with the consumption of starchy and fatty foods. High levels of triglycerides in the bloodstream have been linked to atherosclerosis and, by extension, the risk of heart disease and stroke. Diets high in carbohydrates, with carbohydrates accounting for more than 60% of the total energy intake, can increase triglyceride levels.
