  2. Triglyceride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triglyceride

    Triglycerides are the main constituents of body fat in humans and other vertebrates as well as vegetable fat. [2] They are also present in the blood to enable the bidirectional transference of adipose fat and blood glucose from the liver and are a major component of human skin oils. [3] Many types of triglycerides exist.

  3. Chylomicron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chylomicron

    Chylomicron structure ApoA, ApoB, ApoC, ApoE (apolipoproteins); T (triacylglycerol); C (cholesterol); green (phospholipids). Chylomicrons transport lipids absorbed from the intestine to adipose, cardiac, and skeletal muscle tissue, where their triglyceride components are hydrolyzed by the activity of the lipoprotein lipase, allowing the released free fatty acids to be absorbed by the tissues.

  4. Neutral fat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral_fat

    In the process, 3 molecules of water are eliminated. The word "triglyceride" refers to the number of fatty acids esterified to one molecule of glycerol. In triglycerides, the three fatty acids are rarely similar and are thus called pure fats. For example, tripalmitin, tristearin, etc.

  5. Lipid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid

    The adipocyte, or fat cell, is designed for continuous synthesis and breakdown of triglycerides in animals, with breakdown controlled mainly by the activation of hormone-sensitive enzyme lipase. [65] Migratory birds that must fly long distances without eating use triglycerides to fuel their flights. [2]: 619

  6. Fat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat

    Triglycerides, as major components of very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and chylomicrons, play an important role in metabolism as energy sources and transporters of dietary fat. They contain more than twice as much energy (approximately 9 kcal/g or 38 kJ /g) as carbohydrates (approximately 4 kcal/g or 17 kJ/g).

  7. Glyceride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyceride

    Glycerol has three hydroxyl functional groups, which can be esterified with one, two, or three fatty acids to form mono-, di-, and triglycerides. [2] These structures vary in their fatty acid alkyl groups as they can contain different carbon numbers, different degrees of unsaturation, and different configurations and positions of olefins.

  8. Remnant cholesterol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remnant_cholesterol

    Remnant cholesterol is the cholesterol content of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, which consist of very low-density lipoproteins and intermediate-density lipoproteins with chylomicron remnants. [ 2 ] [ 5 ] Remnant cholesterol is primarily chylomicron and VLDL, and each remnant particle contains about 40 times more cholesterol than LDL.

  9. Blood lipids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_lipids

    Blood lipids (or blood fats) are lipids in the blood, either free or bound to other molecules.They are mostly transported in a phospholipid capsule, and the type of protein embedded in this outer shell determines the fate of the particle and its influence on metabolism.
