Sentences with phrase «high plasma triglyceride»

High plasma triglyceride levels can also be caused by mutations in a variety of genes that regulate triglyceride metabolism.

When compared with non-carriers, LDLR mutation carriers had higher plasma LDL cholesterol, whereas APOA5 mutation carriers had higher plasma triglycerides.

Metabolic syndrome is defined as abdominal obesity and elevated blood pressure, plasma glucose, serum triglycerides, or low high - density - lipoprotein levels and can lead to type 2 diabetes.

However, very high intakes of sucrose or fructose (2 - 3 times usual intake), or high carbohydrate diets (70 - 80 % carbohydrate) can result in elevated plasma triglycerides which can increase heart disease risk.

Omega - 3s as re-esterified triglycerides, natural triglycerides, and free fatty acids have somewhat higher bioavailability than ethyl esters, but consumption of all forms significantly increases plasma EPA and DHA levels [33,35].
