    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Chemistry
    • Biochemistry
    • Analytical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Accurate quantification of triglycerides (triacylglycerols) is crucial for diagnosing and managing cardiovascular diseases.
    • Existing methods for triglyceride measurement may have limitations in speed, accuracy, or cost-effectiveness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and validate a new kinetic approach for the precise quantification of triglycerides in human serum samples.
    • To assess the reliability and agreement of the kinetic method with established equilibrium-based methods.

    Main Methods:

    • A commercially available enzyme-reagent system was utilized in conjunction with a multiple-linear-regression data-processing method.
    • Absorbance values were collected at 3-second intervals (20-305 s) and fitted to a pseudo-first-order model.

  • The method was validated using 23 human serum samples with triglyceride concentrations ranging from 3 to 20 µmol/L after a 250-fold dilution.

    • Main Results:

    • The computed absorbance change showed a linear correlation with triglyceride concentration within the tested range.
    • The pooled relative standard deviation was 7.2%, indicating good precision.
    • Comparison with equilibrium methods yielded a least-squares equation (y = 0.994x + 0.00066), confirming excellent agreement.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed kinetic approach provides an accurate and reliable method for triglyceride quantification in human sera.
    • The method demonstrates good precision, linearity, and agreement with equilibrium-based assays.
    • The low temperature coefficient (<0.2% per °C) suggests robustness across varying laboratory temperatures.
