Triglycerides correlated with insulin resistance and visceral fat

December 13th, 2006 | by David Spelts |

It is well known that the metabolic syndrome is accompanied by high blood triglycerides. But do high levels of these blood fats cause metabolic syndrome or are they a symptom of it?

Rabbits bred to be hypertriglyceridemic had more visceral fat and greater insulin resistance. Improving insulin sensitivity improves both triglycerides and visceral fat.
