Triglycerides of 3.2 mmol/L are considered high, as the normal value of triglycerides in the body is less than 1.69 mmol/L. High triglycerides can cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular adverse events such as stroke, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and can also cause episodes of acute pancreatitis. Triglycerides, generally abbreviated as TG on labs, are composed of glycerol and three long-chain fatty acids, and are a type of lipid. The human body contains a complex variety of lipids, including phospholipids, fatty acids, cholesterol and a small number of other types of lipids in addition to triglycerides, of which triglycerides are the most abundant. The energy produced by the breakdown of triglycerides can be used by most tissues, while triglycerides can also be synthesized by liver, fat and other tissues, and if there is a surplus of consumption, it is also stored in adipose tissue. Blood triglycerides are mainly of exogenous and endogenous origin. Endogenous triglycerides are those described above and are synthesized by tissues such as liver and fat. This part of triglycerides has the role of energy supply and storage, but also can play a role in protecting the body tissues. Exogenous triglycerides are food intake, the fat in food is absorbed by the intestinal mucosa through the action of lipase and bile acids, and then triglycerides are synthesized by cells, from which most of the triglycerides in the human body are obtained, and endogenous only account for a small portion. Therefore, if you want to reduce triglycerides in your body, you must control your diet and reduce your fat intake.
