Abstract :
To find an early symptom of postprandial hyperlipidemia, we developed a technique to measure the change in triglyceride noninvasively. We examined the feasibility to measure the change in the triglyceride concentration as the change in the scattering coefficient of the blood. In an experiment, good correlation was obtained between the change in the triglyceride after a meal and the optical change. This suggested the feasibility of the noninvasive measurement of the triglyceride in blood.
