Dr. Michael Roizen answered:Triglycerides are lipids (fats) that circulate in the bloodstream. Triglyceride measurements are usually taken when cholesterol levels are analyzed, after an overnight fast. The average fasting triglyceride level is 120 to 125 mg/dl. Levels above 209 mg/dl are associated with significant arterial aging, especially with plaque buildup along the artery wall.
