"On Triacetylglycerol"

Triacetylglycerol is the most important lipid. It functions as energy storage and energy supply in the body, and has the effects of heat insulation and visceral protection.

Triacetylglycerol related terms, such as fatty acids, are the basis for forming triacylglycerol. Fatty acids with different chain lengths and saturation levels cause different properties of triacylglycerol. There is also glycerol, which is esterified with fatty acids to obtain triacylglycerol.

In human metabolism, the hydrolysis and synthesis of triacylglycerol are all orderly. During hydrolysis, lipase is used to release fatty acids and glycerol to supply energy to the body. When synthesizing, raw materials and enzymes are needed to meet the needs of physiology.

If the metabolism of triacylglycerol is abnormal, various diseases will occur. Or cause blood lipids to rise and damage cardiovascular health. Therefore, it is essential to understand the principle of its metabolism and control its level in order to maintain good health.
