   Wolman disease

   Wolman disease (also known as Wolman's disease, Wolman's syndrome, and acid lipase deficiency) is a rare autosomal recessive lipid storage disease that is usually fatal at a very young age. ... Wolman disease is marked by accumulation of cholesteryl esters (normally a transport form of cholesterol) and triglycerides (a chemical form in which fats exist in the body) that can build up significantly and cause damage in the cells and tissues.

   Triglyceride

   Increased exercise and reduced carbohydrate consumption ameliorate one potential cause of insulin overproduction to help maintain sensible triglyceride levels. ... Triglycerides

   Hypolipidemic agent

   There is a risk of severe muscle damage (myopathy & rhabdomyolysis) with statins. ... It has little effect on triglycerides but can cause a slight increase.
4. close

   Fructose

   Carbons from dietary fructose are found in both the free fatty acid and glycerol moieties of plasma triglycerides. ... The spontaneous chemical reaction of simple sugar molecules to proteins, known as glycation, is thought to be a significant cause of damage in diabetics.
5. close

   Nootropic

   One cause for this is due to the fact that high levels of triglycerides increase blood sluggishness, so it becomes harder for the blood to transport sufficient amounts of oxygen to brain cells. ... The more commonly known aspect of antioxidant on the brain, would be their protection for oxidative damage.
6. close

   Hepatotoxicity

   Hepatotoxicity (from hepatic toxicity) implies chemical-driven liver damage. ... Chemicals that cause liver injury are called hepatotoxins.

   Glossary of diabetes

   They are found in living tissues, typically in the form of triglycerides (three fatty acid chains attached to a glycerol backbone). ... Glucose reacts with proteins throughout the body; indeed, this is thought to be one, if not the primary, mechanism by which high glucose levels cause damage (see Malliot reaction in cooking for a parallel).

   Medium-chain triglycerides

   Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are medium-chain (6 to 12 carbons) fatty acid esters of glycerol. MCTs passively diffuse from the GI tract to the portal system (longer fatty acids are absorbed into the lymphatic system) without requirement for modification like long-chain fatty acids or very-long-chain fatty acids do.

    Alcoholic liver disease

    Alcoholic liver disease is the major cause of liver disease in Western countries, (in Asian countries, viral hepatitis is the major cause). ... Consequently, the higher levels of fatty acid signals the hepatocytes to compound it to glycerol to form triglycerides.
