The results showed that 19 individuals presented hypertriglyceridemia, and those with higher triglyceride values presented ultrasound findings of vacuolar liver disease (p<0.01). Systolic blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose and cPLI were found within normal ranges and without differences between body condition ranges. The importance of including abdo...
