Ah! Of course, I’ve only done blood testing while fasting (and even on that I try to stay at a very consistent 13-14 hours every time from last meal to blood draw next morning). So you likely created a confounder by eating, but I couldn’t say much more than that as it is a lot of speculation via chylomicrons vs VLDLs at that point.
So I’m gonna go a little deep here, but I’m guessing by your comments you can follow me down this rabbit hole. While my blog and research may appear to be mainly about cholesterol, that’s really just the gateway drug to the actual Matrix – which is energy management! That’s what moves around the cholesterol apportionment via lipoproteins which you’ve probably seen me remark on a lot in my other comments.
With regard to energy, in your shoes I’d be asking if there’s a reasonable and proper reason my body would have that level of trigs in the bloodstream. My first assumption is that it is counterbalancing (or even overly so) a lack of bioavailability for glucose. But your glucose numbers, while lower than a SADer, aren’t too extraordinary. Moreover, there isn’t a lack of ketones either given your precision xtra readings.
My other suspect would be a stalling at around receptor binding where it hydrolyzes triglycerides via lipoprotein lipase. Note this is beyond my paygrade as I’m still very new to this area of biochem – but speaking from a general problem solving standpoint, you can at least conclude it isn’t a break within the TCA cycle of the cells themselves as they payload never appears to leave the lipoprotein in order to give you that reading in the first place. (Hope I articulated that right…)
The way I’d test the above outlandish theory given my previous data is to do my ultra high fat experiment. While the inverse correlation between dietary fat and trigs isn’t as strong as it is with cholesterol, it is still pretty significant (-0.466). And if you had very different results, that might suggest a dysregulation.
