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).
The issue has been conclusively settled: while triglycerides by themselves do not cause heart attacks, they are the driving force behind lipoprotein particles that are potent causes of heart disease, such as small LDL and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL). 33 This phenomenon occurs when triglyceride levels are in the 100â400 mg/dL range.
