Preksha Meditation & Human Health: 5.2 Triglyceride

The control group of subjects has shown almost constant level of serum triglyceride during the different follow up periods, the mean values being 174.0294 ± 11.03022, 174.7941 ± 10.44112 and 173.5294 ± 9.84804 mg/dl. Contrary to that there was a regular decline in the triglyceride in experimental group of subjects at all follow-up periods. The mean serum triglyceride level in this group on 0 day was estimated to be 173.5294 ± 9.84804 mg/dl. However, at the subsequent follow- up periods, i.e. 90 and 180 days the mean values were 171.9118 ± 9.44319 and 170.5000 ± 9.02270 mg/dl respectively. The difference in the mean values between control and experimental group of subjects at 90 and 180 days were statistically significant (p < 0.0005). (Table No.C5, C6 and C7).

Table C6: Intra-group comparison of triglyceride levels of control and experimental group of subjects after 180 days follow-up duration.

Table C7: Intra-group comparative values of triglyceride at 1st follow-up (90 days) and 2nd follow- up (180 days) in control and experimental group of subjects.

The values of triglyceride of both the groups i.e. control and experimental group of subjects at the beginning of the experiment were found to be in similar range (174.0294 ±11.03022 and 173.5294 ± 9.44319) without any significant difference. But after 90 and 180 days a significant decline was noticed in experimental group, in comparison to control group, as depicted in Table C8.
