Transient refers to something that is temporary or remaining for a short period of time. Probiotics are considered to be transient as they are constantly excreted in faeces.

Triglycerides are the main type of fat found in humans – they are the end-product of digesting and breaking down the fats in the food we eat. They are found in the blood and used by the body for energy. They are also used as a marker for heart disease – triglyceride levels above 200 are considered high. Factors affecting triglyceride levels include being overweight, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption and some genetic disorders.
