Triglycerides? Tryglicerides is a common misspelling of triglycerides.

Triglycerides play an important role in keeping the body healthy. For example, they are used by the body to create energy and serve as building blocks for cells. Although the body needs some triglycerides, high levels in the blood can be a serious health problem and a risk factor for heart disease. For most people, a normal triglyceride level is anything under 150 mg/dL.
