A triglyceride is an ester of glycerol and three fatty acids. Most animal fats are composed primarily of triglycerides. In the structures below, the fatty acids attached to the glycerol are represente [..]

an ester derived from glycerol and three fatty acidsThe digestion of triglycerides to fatty acids also produces these ions.

A type of lipid that moves through the bloodstream

1860, malformed from tri- + glyceride. So called for the three radicals which replace the three hydrogen atoms.

A compound made up of a fatty acid (such as oleic, palmitic, or stearic acid) and glycerol. Triglycerides make up most animal and vegetable fats and are the basic water-insoluble substances (lipids) t [..]

A type of lipid also called neutral fat. A prominent fat in diets.

A compound made up of a single molecule of glycerol and 3 molecules of fatty acid. Triglycerides are the main constituents of natural fats and oils.

A triglyceride is an ester formed from glycerol and three fatty acids.

An unreactive lipid consisting of one glycerol molecule bonded to three fatty-acid molecules. When dietary fat is digested, triglycerides are produced and stored in adipocytes (fat cells).

a type of fat in the blood stream and fat tissue. High triglyceride levels (above 200) can contribute to the hardening and narrowing of arteries.

(try-GLISS-er-ide) the storage form of fat in the body. High triglyceride levels may occur when diabetes is out of control.

(n) glyceride occurring naturally in animal and vegetable tissues; it consists of three individual fatty acids bound together in a single large molecule; an important energy source forming much of the [..]

The primary type of fat in the body and in the diet, formed from three fatty-acid molecules and one glycerol molecule. This fat can raise the risk for heart disease when elevated.

lipid consisting of three fatty acid molecules bound to a glycerol backbone. Triglycerides are the principal form of fat in the diet, although they are also synthesized endogenously. Triglycerides are [..]

In insects,triglycerides are the lipid-storing organs.

A combination of glycerol and fatty acid that circulates in the blood.

A compound made up of a fatty acid (such as oleic, palmitic, or stearic acid) and glycerol. Triglycerides make up most animal and vegetable fats and are the basic water-insoluble substances (lipids) t [..]

(chemistry) A lipid, an ester of glycerol and three fatty acids (the same or different); the major constituent of animal and vegetable fats.

a fat-like substance found in the blood.

A combination of glycerol and three fatty acids (i.e., body fat).
