Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Triglyceride (TG) concentration is measured by the two methods. The glycerol elimination method does not include pre-existing glycerol into TG concentration, while the glycerol non-elimination method includes it into TG concentration. At present, global standardization of TG measurement has not been achieved yet. Free glycerol is a degradation product of TG which is derived from the adipose tissue, and serum lipoproteins. We demonstrates that (1) fasting free glycerol concentration is associated with body mass index, 2) free glycerol concentration markedly reduces in the postprandial state, and (3) fasting free glycerol concentration is not associated with lipoprotein-derived TG concentration. The glycerol elimination method is desirable for serum TG measurement because it reflects only lipoprotein TG concentration.
