Triglyceride Assay Kits

Triglyceride assay kits are available from several suppliers to measure triglycerides in a biological sample. Triglycerides are esters of fatty acids that can be hydrolyzed to yield glycerol and free fatty acids. They are found in oils, fats, lipoproteins, and are important in energy production and in various metabolic pathways. Increased levels of triglycerides in the body may be indicative of atherosclerosis, heart disease, stroke, or pancreatitis. Many triglyceride assays hydrolyze the molecule into free fatty acids and glycerol. Glycerol is then oxidized to react with a probe that produces a chromogenic or fluorescent signal. Visit the triglyceride assay kit suppliers for more details, including kit components and detection range.
