    Abstract:

    Triglyceride (TG) is transported in the blood as specific triglyceride-rich lipoprotein (TRL). When TRL is overproduced or the catabolism is not timely, cholesterol ester-rich residues is formed. Both TRL and its residues contribute to the development of atherosclerosis (As) through various direct and indirect mechanisms. Currently, the combination of lifestyle interventions and Western medicines is considered the preferred treatment strategy for As. However, lipid-lowering therapy alone cannot fully eliminate the residual risk of As. In contrast, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the holistic regulation of bodily functions to prevent and treat As. This paper will begin by examining the metabolic mechanisms of TRL, elucidate the role of TRL and its residues in the risk of As occurrence, and summarize current strategies targeting the TRL metabolic pathway to reduce the incidence of As.
