Triglyceride is an important type of fat measured in the blood. Like cholesterol, triglyceride dissolves in the blood. It can be produced by the body and also obtained through diet.
Research indicates that high triglyceride levels increase the risk of heart disease. For a healthy adult, normal triglyceride levels should be below 150 mg/dL. Values between 150 and 199 mg/dL are considered 'borderline high', while 200-499 mg/dL are 'high', and values above 500 mg/dL are classified as 'very high'.
