The triglyceride-glucose index as an indicator of latent atherogenicity of the plasma lipid profile in healthy men with normolipidaemia

Objectives The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a novel diagnostic marker for various metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. However, little is known about the association of the TyG index with plasma atherogenicity, especially with its latent forms. The aim of this study was to assess the potential of the use of the TyG index as a marker of atherogenic risk.
