Taming Elevated Triglycerides, Insulin Resistancew, and Syndrome X |
Triglycerides are the fats in the blood. To visualize their appearance, think of chicken soup left overnight in the refrigerator. The next morning you find an upper layer of yellowish fat, which has formed over the brownish liquid below. When blood is drawn into a tube during venepuncture, and then left on the counter for a while, light-yellow fat (triglycerides) will rise to the top, leaving the more watery red blood below. When someone has very high triglycerides, you can actually see the fat separate from the blood in the tube even before the needle is removed from the patient's arm. |
