What is the function of Triglyceride and Phospholipid?

Q. Also, what are some examples of nucleic acids besides DNA and RNA?

Thanks!

A. Triglycerides and Phospholipids are present in the Plasma Membrane of the cell to make each cell regionally distinct from one another.

Is cyclying good for reducing triglyceride level?
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.
