Triglyceride

Introduction The purpose of this lab was to identify the lipids in an egg yolk and to identify the amount of lipids in milk [1]. To extract the lipids from the egg yolk, the egg yolk needed to be combined with an organic solvent such as a mixture of CHCl3/MeOH. An organic solvent was needed to carry the extracted lipids up the TLC plate because the plate was polar, due to the presence of silica gel (silanol groups). To compare relatively similar lipids to the ones found in the egg yolk, the egg…

usually derived fatty acids from triglycerides or phospholipids. Fatty acids are very important sources of fuel because, when they metabolized, they yield large amount of ATP .Fatty acids are regulated by certain transcription factors which control the action of genes which synthesize the fatty acids as well as cholesterol inside the body TYPE OF FATTY ACID I. ON THE BASIS OF NATURE OF COMPOUND I. TRIGLYCERIDES II. PHOSPHOLIPID III. CHOLESTEROL TRIGLYCERIDES A triglycerides are the esters…

to be processed, but since there is plenty at one time, the liver sends the fructose to the bloodstream as triglycerides. The Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine defines triglycerides as “fatty compounds (made) during the process of digestion and stored in the body’s (fat) tissues. High levels of triglycerides in the blood are associated with insulin resistance.” Having a high amount of triglycerides is also known to cause heart…

breakdown triglycerides the most abundant lipids in the diet and phospholipids. Lingual lipase secreted by glands in the tongue and gastric lipase secreted by gastric chief cells hydrolyze a small amount of triglycerides into fatty acids and monoglycerides. As chyme enters the duodenum from the stomach cholecytokinin stimulates the secretion of bile salts and pancreatic juice. Bile salts synthesized in the liver, and stored in the gallbladder, is released clinging to mono, di, and triglycerides…

Doctors actively monitor the concentrations of LDL and HDL in their patient's blood because different concentrations of both are associated with the risk of heart disease. High concentrations of LDL increases the risk of heart disease since it leads to the building up of plague in the arteries. This build up leads to the arteries hardening which then can lead to a heart attack and a stroke. However, high concentrations of HDL can decrease the risk of heart disease due to its function being to…

heart attack at age 60 Height/weight: 5’9”/165 lbs Blood pressure: 145/80 (optimal is less than 120/80 Smoker: Yes Activity level: Sedentary Blood values: Total cholesterol: 210 mg LDL cholesterol: 160 mg HDL cholesterol: 34 mg Triglycerides 120 mg Which of the factors listed…

involving 900 Dutch adults, it was found that some intestinal bacteria could help determine not only body fat levels, but also blood concentrations of HDL (good) cholesterol and triglycerides. A close relationship! This is the first study to offer "solid evidence" linking intestinal bacteria with cholesterol and triglyceride levels, said Jingyuan Fu, associate professor of Genetics at the University Medical Center of Groningen, in the Netherlands. Although it is too early to recommend…

sucrose and often bonded to glucose to form the disaccharide sucrose. Triglyceride is a type of fat (lipid) found in the blood. When we eat, our body convert any calories that doesn’t need to use right away into triglycerides. Triglycerides are stored in the fat cells. Hormones release triglycerides for energy between meals. If we regularly eat more calories like carbohydrates and fats than we burn, we have high triglycerides. HFCS is generally a sucrose. Sucrose is a disaccharide that is a…

often mistaken with triglycerides. Both are types of lipids (fats) (Matters). Both are transported in the body by lipoproteins. The first type of lipoprotein is HDL (High Density Lipoprotein). It brings cholesterol and triglycerides from blood vessels to the liver (“HDL”). The second type is LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein). It transports the molecules from the liver to…

doctor called and told us that my wife’s cholesterol and triglyceride levels were “off the charts” and he needed to figure out why the tests were indicating triglyceride levels of 1700 and 1800 respectively on both tests, and…
