message: I just found out I have very high triglyceride  I need to know what proper medication or drugs should i take and the proper diet...how long will it take me to recover from this?
:That is something that your doctor should go over with you. His answers will depend on specifically how high your triglycerides are, and on reviewing the results of other tests in your "lipid profile", and may include recommendations on your diet, or for specific medications or vitamins. - Nunh-huh 02:45, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)

message: This is a great article, but I believe that there is much more information on triglycerides. I don't mean to be rude, but I am suggesting that more information should be added to the article
:Go ahead, add what you know. Wikipedia is a work in progress. Of course there is more to add! Hell, there's hundreds of papers a year. JFW | T@lk 08:40, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adding to Triglyceride article 

message: This article may be written quite well, however, at the moment it is too technical for proper comprehension, at least by myself. Perhaps if technical terms were followed by a definition it would prove a more useful article.

My husband has a high triglyceride level. He is in the hopital tonight with the level of over 3000. I have not found a lot of things on this so I do agree with your statement. If anyone knows of a helpful sight please let me know.
I must agree with you.  My husband was also diagnosed with high tri.  Since I was not at his appointment with him, I was unable to find out if I need to change his eating habits, get him to exercise more, be aware of changes in him that may be related.  I got a prescription filled, but that is the only thing I know.

thread_title:  Improving Lay-person Readability 

message: The article currently states that cigarettes contain cholesterol and the way the section is written, seem to imply that smoking increases triglyceride levels by providing fatty acids directly (rather than by affecting metabolism, etc.)  A quick web search turned up no substantiation of this.  Is there any reason to believe it?
:Good catch, the cigarette thing sounds like it's completely false. Frankg 00:13, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

message: In the article it is claimed that processed oils are carcinogenic; however no evidence of this fact is cited. I will delete this claim unless evidence is produced to support it. Mnc4t 23:44, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Article mentions "ideal ω_6/ω_3 ratio" twice but doesn't say what it should be. Even Omega-3_fatty_acids#The n−6 to n−3 ratio doesn't. Rod57 (talk) 12:06, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Article now says "ideally in a ω-6/ω-3 ratio between 1:1 and 4:1 (i.e., no more than four grams omega-6 for every one of omega-3)". Rod57 (talk) 03:55, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

text: Also, from Harris WS. The Omega-6/Omega-3 Ratio and Cardiovascular Disease Risk: Rses and Abuses. Curr Atheroscler Rep 2006;8(6):453-459 (see http://www.cnpp.usda.gov/Publications/DietaryGuidelines/2010/Meeting2/CommentAttachments/Harris-193DOCREF.pdf): "There is virtually no evidence that lowering n-6 FA intakes (which will "improve" the ratio) will result in reduced risk for CHD, whereas increasing intakes of the n-3 FA will, regardless of the levels of n-6 FAs. Focusing on the ratio distracts from the more important issue, which is increasing the intake of n-3 FAs. The latter appears to be the single most important dietary change that can be made to improve cardiovascular health."

thread_title:  references 

message: There was a spot on the article that required citation and I think I see where the person saw it... but I wouldn't agree with using the citation as it's listed. http://www.drugs.com/simcor.html says that Simcor "is a tablet containing a combination of Simvastatin and niacin. Simcor is used to lower cholesterol and triglycerides (types of fat) in the blood"... but I note that none of the other Statins on Drugs.com say anything about Triglycerides so it seems it's the Niacin doing it more than the Statin. As it's written, using this citation would make it sound like all Statins help with Triglycerides, but that's not what Drugs.com verifies.
I'm not sure if it should be removed or clarified that it's the combination that may lower Triglycerides, but I wanted to point that out to whoever felt they could more adequately rewrite it. ;-) Burleigh2 (talk) 18:37, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

message: What is the difference between these two words precisely? In university, we (native german speaking) used Triacylglycerides, but it seems wikipedia uses Triglycerides, so I assume that Triglycerides is the proper, more commonly, and thus correctly used word? Could someone add some references to this? I visited this page because of that. 62.46.197.116 (talk) 13:50, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Triglyceride vs. Triacylglyceride 

message: This article talks about the high triglycerides, but not low triglycerides, and what levels might indicate fat malabsorption, risks of vitamin deficiencies, etc. 108.56.154.33 (talk) 22:22, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  What are the low and normal levels? 

message: At room temperature. That would be useful Wikipedia information. 
Then one could calculate that a tablespoon = 15 ML of triglycerides weights about 15g*0.91=13.7g.

message: This sentence is unclear to me: "This may include restriction of carbohydrates (specifically fructose)[14] and fat in the diet and the consumption of omega-3 fatty acids[16] from algae, nuts, and seeds."
Is it saying that you should or shouldn't consume omega-3 fatty acids?  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 02:57, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
