Q. I am having a triglyceride of 548. I cycle for 7Kms. daily. Is this good or I should necessarily walk instead of cycling ?
A. Triglycerides > 500 are targeted for treatment first because the increased risk for pancreatitis. Exercise alone will not be sufficient to reduce your triglycerides. In fact, elevated triglycerides will not give an accurate reading for LDL, HDL, etc.... [If you think the lab results are inaccurate, you can always get another lab done].
More than likely, your doctor has probably prescribed mediction (or a supplement such as fish oils with a titration schedule).
Medications used are:
1) Fibrates - fenofibrates, tricor, etc.... (
2) Trilipix - only one with FDA approval to be used in combination with a statin
3) Lovaza
4) Fish Oils
5) Niaspan - used to increase HDL but can also be used to decrease TG
Talk to you doctor for additional information.

What does it mean if my triglyceride is low?
Q. I am a young adult and recently had a blood test taken. My triglyceride level was a low 26, the norm is 35-160. What does this mean and what are the risks of having a low amount? Also, what is the function of triglyceride and how can I raise it?
A. Triglycerides are the form that dietary fat takes in your blood. You do not want to raise your trigylceride level because it can lead to heart disease and other health complications. Its best to keep it low.
Can triglyceride levels in dogs increase from the chewing/eating of rawhide?
Q. I have increased the amount of rawhide chews I give to my Beagle, and coincidentally, her triglycerides soared. Is there any connection between the two? Otherwise, she is fed Nutro Ultra for Seniors dry mixed with a little bit of canned and water for a sauce. She is not fed fats, and has a healthy diet of fruits and veggies for snacks.
A. most raw-hides are deep fried or oven basted with chicken fat as dripping, so are just full of fat. You can get healthier ones if you search, but they cost more. Most people recommend the nylon bones, but I have heard if they are too small the dogs can swallow them whole, then you will need an operation.
I give my dogs a small healthy meaty bone to chew daily, its part of their breakfast calorie, is natural and much lower in fat.
