Hypertriglyceridemia

Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is a common metabolic disorder with both genetic and lifestyle factors playing significant roles in its pathophysiology. Triglycerides (TG) are an essential molecule for efficient storage of excess energy in the body. Whenever we have excess nutrients, we store them as fat, which is TG; this is true whether the excess nutrient is carbohydrate, protein, or fat itself.
