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).
1 Borderline levels are between 150-200 mg/dL. 2  High levels of triglycerides (greater than 200 mg/dl) are associated with a increased risk of atherosclerosis and therefore coronary artery disease and stroke. 3  Extremely high triglyceride level s (greater than 500mg/dl) may cause pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas).riglyceride and cholesterol levels are measured in the blood to provide a method of screening for this risk. 1  Normal triglyceride levels in the blood are less than 150mg per deciliter (mg/dL).
