what is meant by triglycerides ?
923845
Triglycerides are a type of fat found in your blood. They are a major source of energy and the most common type of fat in your body.\n\nAny extra calories are turned into triglycerides and stored in fat cells to be used later. The excess calories are stored as fat regardless of what kind of food you eat—fat, carbohydrate, or protein. If you regularly eat more calories than you burn, you may have high triglycerides.\n\nTriglycerides have th the risk of heart disease and stroke\n\nCardiovascular exercise and low-moderate carbohydrate diets containing essential fatty acid are recommended for reducing triglyceride levels

Cholesterol \nHigh-density lipoprotein ( HDL )\nLow-density lipoprotein ( LDL )\n\ncollective as Triglycerides

Lipoprotein test:\nLow density lipoproteins (LDL) -- bad cholesterol \nHigh density lipoproteins (HDL) -- good cholesterol \nTriglycerides \n\nLipid disorders are problems with the various forms of fat that are carried in the bloodstream. \nAbnormal lipid levels in the blood can be caused by genetic factors, lifestyle factors, or a combination. \nLipid disorders contribute to atherosclerosis, or the buildup of fatty streaks and cholesterol-laden plaque in the walls of the heart's arteries.\nHigh cholesterol is a lipid disorder. Physicians use the term lipid disorder to describe several conditions in which high concentrations of lipids (fats) exist in the bloodstream.\nSymptoms: Chest pain; Muscle pain; and Muscle weakness from ischemia (blood flow that is insufficient to provide enough oxygen).

triglycerides levels can rise due to a number of things including a high sugar and/or fat intake. so if you reduce your simple sugar intake, this may help to lower your triglycerides.

Fatty acids & glycerol are the end products.....those fatty acids may be saturated or unsaturated too.

Total fecal fat is exactly that: all the fats in the stool.\n\nNeutral fecal fat is one fraction of the total; it's the stuff that is, as I recall it, in the triacylglyceryl form, rather than having been broken down into the free fatty acids.\n\nLooking at the fecal fats is used to get some idea of how efficiently your digestive tract is handling the digestion of ingested fat, and how effectively it is absorbing the fats.  It's one of the tools used to look at whether or not you're suffering from pancreatic insufficiency, or malabsorbtion.  More simply, there one of a bunch of tools used to make a diagnosis under certain situations.

Glycerine. It is the end product of fat degradation or digestion and hence has no energy content.

Triglycerides are made up of a hydrophilic (polar) "head" group and three hydrophobic "tail" groups. Polar molecules dissolve well in water while polar ones do not. In water, triglycerides form micelles, with the water-loving parts facing the water, and the polar part buried on the inside.\n\nWhen you hydrolyse these molecules, you get three long carboxylic acids and a molecule of glycerol. I think both of these are soluble.

Fatty acids do not hydrolyse. Glycerides hydrolyse into fatty acid and glycerol.

meg 7901 absolutely correct. Stop the sweets. Elevated triglycerides are often as serious as hdl<30, ldl>130, (estimates).

"Fat" means lard, shortening, butter, oil, or cooking spray.

fatty acids and glycerol

Glycerol and fatty acids make phospholipids.  Fatty acid chains are nonpolar.

High triglycerides can be managed with proper diet, exercise, and all natural supplements.\n\nGarlic complex and OmegaGuard are very good supplements to use.  \n\nI use both of these supplements and feel free to contact me with questions or the brand I use.

Saturated fat is fat that consists of triglycerides containing only saturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds between the carbon atoms of the fatty acid chain (hence, they are fully saturated with hydrogen atoms).\n\nAn unsaturated fat is a fat or fatty acid in which there is one or more double bond in the fatty acid chain. Fat molecules are monounsaturated if it contains one double bond, and polyunsaturated if it contains more than one double bond. Double bonds, which are sometimes referred to as unsaturated bonds, may be cis or trans.
