Triglycerides
Triglycerides are a type of fat (lipid) found in the blood. They are the most common type of fat in the body and are used as a source of energy. A triglyceride molecule is composed of three fatty acids attached to a glycerol molecule. These fatty acids can vary in their composition, and their arrangement contributes to the different types of fats found in the body.
