Triglyceride

. Triglycerides are a form of lipid and are made up of 1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids. In order for a triglyceride to be broken down, it must pass through 3 stages; the Beta Oxidation Stage, the Citric Acid Cycle or CAC, and the Electron Transport Chain. Two byproducts of Beta Oxidation and CAC are NADH and FADH-2. These two byproducts go on to the Electron Transport Chain to create the energy called ATP. A fatty acid is made up of a chain of carbon and hydrogen bonds, which are hydrophobic, and…

Beta-sitosterol from glycyrrhiza glabra roots reduced intracellular levels of triglyceride and cholesterol in L6 cells.Benefical effects of beta-sitosterol on lipid metabolismIn L6 myotube cells are mediated by AM-activated protein kinase (Seung et al., 2008).Glabirdin from glycyrrhiza glabra roots showed inhibitory effect on adipogenesis…

oil, or medium-chain triglyceride oil. Below, we explain what MCT oil is, how it can benefit your body, and how you can incorporate more of it into your diet. What Is MCT Oil? Medium-chain triglycerides are a unique type of fatty acid. The "medium" part of MTC's name refers to the length of its chemical structure. Fatty acids — made up of carbon and hydrogen strands — are deemed "short," "medium," or "long" according to the number of carbons they have. Short-chain triglycerides have…

The diagnosis of this disease process depends on their lipid profile, which is done after an overnight fast. LDL, HDL, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels are measured and then used to determine whether they have any risk factors (Porth, 2011, p. 407). “Cholesterol is carried in blood as VDL, LDL, and HDL, with the total serum cholesterol being equal to the sum of these three components” (Porth…

Asana and Pranayama treatment moderates the lipid levels and blood pressure than other groups. The study also reveals that combined work of Asana and Pranayama significantly improves HDL concentration and decreases blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL level.…

Benefits of Low Carb Diet For several years, the low carb diet has been very intriguing. This diet was first demonized by the media and fat-phobic health professionals. Many believed that this can increase the levels of cholesterol and causes illness due to the high fat content. But, low carb diets have easen the cold reception of some health experts after numerous studies were conducted and yielded wonderful results. Since 202, many clinical studies have proven its effectiveness and value…

Time-Of-Flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry imaging revealed altered spatial distribution of many lipids in tissue sections of Lcn2-deficient mice or WT mice fed an MCD diet. Significant changes to m/z signal intensities for various sphingomyelins, triglycerides, and glycerophospholipid species were observed, including elevations of phosphatidylinositol diphosphates and -triphosphates in MCD-fed mice, regardless of LCN2 status. Interestingly, two arachidonic acid containing glycerophospholipids…

about the Twinkie Diet experiment is that the good professor saw his cholesterol numbers (and triglyceride numbers) change for the better. Putting aside my view that cholesterol is a much-overrated measurement that tells us very little, the fact is that weight loss -- no matter how you do it -- always improves those numbers. But health is not measured simply by cholesterol numbers or even triglyceride numbers and certainly isn't measured by the number of pounds you lose. (Ask anyone who was in…

artery disease, stroke, and type II diabetes. People with the syndrome X may be classified as obese in the abdominal area, high blood pressure, elevated fasting glucose, dyslipidemia with elevated LDL cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol and elevated triglycerides (Brown et al., 2013). As people age along with not taking care of their overall health increase their risk for having metabolic syndrome. In addition, ethnicity and gender plays a significant role for a person who is diagnosed…

atherosclerosis: a combination of cholesterol accumulation, inflammation, and cellular proliferation.8 Atherosclerosis can be caused by obesity and the resultant harmful changes in plasma lipids and lipoproteins.8, 9 These changes include increases in triglycerides and total low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol as well as decreases in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.9 In addition, chronic insulin resistance likely contributes to CAD.2 Persistent intake of extreme amounts of…
