The 51 pages that link to Triglyceride, each with the reason it gives.

• CholesterolCompared with: Triglycerides are another blood lipid measured alongside cholesterol, but serve a different primary role.

• ButterRelated: Most milk fat consists of triglycerides with varied melting points.

• BiodieselBroader topic: Triglycerides are the primary feedstock molecules transformed during biodiesel production.

• GlycerolBroader topic: This is the principal molecular form in which glycerol occurs in fats and oils.

• PhospholipidCompared with: It shares fatty-acid building blocks with many phospholipids but lacks a polar phosphate head.

• Saturated fatRelated: Most dietary saturated fat occurs in triglycerides containing one or more saturated fatty acids.

• SoapRelated: Animal fats and vegetable oils are largely triglycerides used as soapmaking feedstocks.

• Dietary fatBroader topic: Most dietary fat arrives as triglycerides that digestion breaks into absorbable components.

• Metabolic syndromeRelated: Elevated triglycerides count as a defining component in common criteria.

• Smoke pointBroader topic: Triglycerides are the principal molecules that break down when fats are overheated.

• Low-density lipoproteinCompared with: Unlike triglyceride-rich particles, mature LDL carries proportionally more cholesterol.

• Omega-3 fatty acidRelated: High-dose EPA and DHA preparations can lower blood triglyceride concentrations.

• SaponificationBroader topic: Triglycerides are the main fat molecules whose ester bonds saponification cleaves.

• BlubberBroader topic: Triglycerides form much of the energy-rich fat stored in blubber.

• Adipose tissueRelated: Adipocytes store most of their energy reserves in this compact molecular form.

• Coconut oilNarrower topic: Coconut oil consists chiefly of triglycerides carrying different fatty-acid combinations.

• Milk fatNarrower topic: Triglycerides make up most of milk fat and carry its fatty acids.

• SebumRelated: Triglycerides in sebum are partly broken down into free fatty acids on the skin.

• GlycogenCompared with: Unlike glycogen, it stores energy densely but cannot supply glucose directly.

• Cocoa butterNarrower topic: Cocoa butter’s physical properties depend on the triglycerides that make up most of it.

• Digestive enzymeBroader topic: Digestive lipases hydrolyze its ester bonds into absorbable lipid products.

• LipidBroader topic: It is the principal energy-storage form among lipids.

• Fish oilRelated: Much fish oil naturally stores its fatty acids in triglyceride form.

• LipoproteinRelated: Triglycerides form much of the cargo in chylomicrons and very-low-density lipoproteins.

• Cooking oilBroader topic: Most cooking oil consists chiefly of triglycerides.

• Trans fatRelated: Most dietary fats, including trans fats, are carried in triglycerides.

• TransesterificationBroader topic: Vegetable oils and animal fats are largely triglycerides used as biodiesel feedstocks.

• Brown adipose tissueRelated: Brown fat stores triglycerides that can be broken down to supply thermogenic fuel.

• LipolysisBroader topic: This is the principal stored substrate that lipolysis cleaves.

• Stearic acidRelated: Stearic acid commonly occurs esterified within triglycerides in fats and oils.

• Vegetable oilBroader topic: Most vegetable oils consist predominantly of triglycerides.

• Lauric acidRelated: In oils, lauric acid is commonly esterified into triglycerides rather than present alone.

• Palmitic acidRelated: Palmitic acid is commonly stored in fats as one of a triglyceride’s fatty-acid components.

• Soybean oilNarrower topic: Most soybean oil consists of triglycerides carrying its characteristic fatty acids.

• DyslipidemiaRelated: High blood triglycerides define another major pattern of dyslipidemia.

• AdipocyteRelated: This is the principal chemical form of energy stored inside adipocytes.

• Monounsaturated fatNarrower topic: Dietary monounsaturated fat is commonly carried in triglyceride molecules.

• ShorteningBroader topic: Most edible fats, including shortening, consist largely of triglycerides.

• SterolCompared with: Unlike triglycerides, sterols have fused rings and a single hydroxyl group.

• WaxesCompared with: Triglycerides are energy-storage fats, unlike the usual single-chain ester structure of waxes.

• Medium-chain triglycerideNarrower topic: Medium-chain triglycerides are a chain-length-defined subgroup of triglycerides.

• Palm kernel oilRelated: Palm kernel oil is chiefly a mixture of these molecules.

• Clarified butterRelated: Triglycerides make up most of the fat retained in clarified butter.

• Erucic acidRelated: In plant oils, erucic acid is commonly stored as part of triglyceride molecules.

• AtorvastatinRelated: Atorvastatin can also lower elevated triglycerides, alongside its main effect on LDL.

• RosuvastatinRelated: Rosuvastatin can also lower blood triglyceride concentrations.

• Arachidic acidRelated: Arachidic acid can be incorporated as one of the fatty-acid chains in a triglyceride.

• Caprylic acidNarrower topic: Natural fats store caprylic acid chiefly as part of triglycerides.

• John YudkinRelated: Yudkin linked sugar consumption to higher circulating triglycerides.

• TallowBroader topic: Tallow consists mainly of triglycerides whose fatty-acid mix determines its properties.
