Summary

Hypertriglyceridemia, often linked to insulin resistance, requires comprehensive evaluation including blood glucose and lipid profiles. Management focuses on lifestyle changes, blood sugar control, and targeted medications like statins or fibrates to mitigate risks such as pancreatitis.

Frontiers in nutrition·2026

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Endocrinology
  • Metabolic Disorders

Context:

  • Hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL cholesterol are linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome.
  • This review synthesizes literature, clinical data, and sales figures for fibrates.

Purpose:

  • To outline diagnostic and management strategies for hypertriglyceridemia.
  • To highlight the role of insulin resistance and associated risk factors.

Summary:

  • Insulin resistance is a key contributor to hypertriglyceridemia.
  • Recommended diagnostics include fasting glucose, HbA1c, lipid profiles, and assessment for adiposity, alcohol use, and eating disorders.
  • Management involves lifestyle modifications, glycemic control, and pharmacotherapy (statins, fibrates, omega-3 fatty acids, niacin), with specific considerations for pancreatitis risk and drug interactions.
