Triglycerides are a type of lipid found in the blood, which serve as an energy source for the body. High levels of triglycerides are associated with an increased risk of heart disease and other health problems. Research in this area focuses on understanding the role of triglycerides in health and disease, as well as developing strategies to lower triglyceride levels and improve health outcomes. This research often involves studying the impact of diet, exercise, and medication on triglyceride levels, as well as investigating the genetic factors that influence triglyceride metabolism.
