What are Tryglycerides or Triglycerides?

My Problem with Cholesterol is with the triglycerides, and it's tough to find info on them, there is much less out there than there is for HDL and LDL (good and bad cholesterol).

Triglyceride - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "In the human body, high levels of triglycerides in the bloodstream have been linked to atherosclerosis, and, by extension, the risk of heart disease and stroke. However, the negative impact of raised levels of triglycerides is lower than that of LDL:HDL ratios. The risk can be partly accounted for by a strong inverse relationship between triglyceride level and HDL-cholesterol level.

Another disease caused by high triglycerides is pancreatitis.

Guidelines
The American Heart Association has set guidelines for triglyceride levels:[1]

Level mg/dL	Level mmol/L	Interpretation
<150	<1.69	Normal range, lowest risk
150-199	1.70-2.25	Borderline high
200-498	2.25-5.63	High
>500	>5.65	Very high, increased risk

Please note that this information is relevant to triglyceride levels as tested after fasting. Triglyceride levels remain temporarily higher for a period of time after eating."
