Biochemistry of Triglycerides

  • Chapter
Lipids and Lipidoses

Abstract

Triglycerides are the main energy storage material of the animal body and make up a large part of its caloric intake. Being a comparatively inert group of substances, they can be stored in large amounts. As water insoluble materials they are deposited as droplets of concentrated energy reserve, lacking osmotic activity and not requiring the concomitant deposition of large amounts of water. On the other hand, their insolubility in water makes it necessary for the organism to devise special methods and vehicles of transport in the aqueous medium of the animal body.
