PRINCIPLE OF THE METHOD
CALCULATIONS
Sample triglycerides incubated with lipoproteinlipase (LPL), liberate
glycerol and free fatty acids. Glycerol is converted to glycerol-3- (A) Sample (A)Blank

kinase and ATP. Glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) is then converted by
glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase (GPO) to dihydroxyacetone Conversion factor: mg/dL x 0,0113= mmol/L.

The intensity of the color formed is proportional to the triglycerides
concentration in the sample1,2,3. These values are for orientation purpose; each laboratory should establish its
own reference range.
CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Triglycerides are fats that provide energy for the cell. PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
Like cholesterol, they are delivered to the bodys cells by lipoproteins Measuring range: From detection limit 0,000 mg/dL to linearity limit 1600
