The average length of jumps during saltation corresponds to the wavelength, or distance between adjacent crests, of the ripples.
The most common cause of an elevated triglyceride level is a non-fasting specimen. There are many, common and uncommon causes of high blood triglycerides, including dietary indiscretion, metabolic disease, drugs, or rare genetic mutation of an enzyme in the lipid metabolism pathway (type I hyperlipoproteinemia).
Hypertriglyceridemia is the medical term for elevated triglycerides in the blood. Fasting levels can vary normally day to day. Triglycerides vary dramatically when you eat a meal, and can increase five to 10 times higher than fasting levels.
