Triglycerides constitute 95% of tissue storage fat and their main role is to provide energy for the cell. They are synthesized both in the intestine from dietary fats and in liver from dietary carbohydrates, and are then transported in blood by chylomicrons and VLDL.
High serum triglyceride levels are associated with important risks of atherosclerosis. They can be due to diseases like different lipid metabolism disorders (hyperlipoproteinemia, lipase activity deficiency, apolipoprotein C-II deficiency), but also to diabetes, renal or endocrine disorders.
