I got my blood test results and I have very low triglycerides. What does this mean?

[LetsGoRangers]

I mean like what symptoms if any occur from having low triglycerides? I think the value I had was 38( no idea what that means) and I looked it up and I can't find any info to help find out how This will effect me. I know what triglycerides are (it's like a fat without the acid right?) and they're used for energy in cells. But what could be the symptoms of having low levels of them? Thanks for any and all input

It means you have low fat storage.

Your body makes some triglycerides. Triglycerides also come from the food you eat. Leftover calories are turned into triglycerides and stored in fat cells for later use. If you eat more calories than your body needs, your triglyceride level may be high.

Low triglyceride levels may be due to:

Low fat diet
Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid)
Malabsorption syndrome (conditions in which the small intestine does not absorb fats well)
Malnutrition

Triglycerides are fat molecules - three fatty acids on one glucose molecule. I don't imagine it would effect your body too much. It transfers fat and glucose from the liver to the blood and vice versa. I would imagine not having many would make you feel a bit more fatigued than normal.

Are you on a low fat diet?

This is a question you should ask your doctor I suspect.
