A Blood test that reveal a person's cholesterol and triglycerides are called?
Type your answer here... That would be called a lipid panel.

What are Lipids and Lipoproteins?
Beyond the Total, LDL and HDL cholesterol targets, there are a lot of scientific terms used to explain cholesterol. Lipids and lipoproteins are frequently referred to in cholesterol articles, though often there's not a description of just what these are and what they do.What Is A Lipid? According to dictionary.com, a lipid is an organic compound that is, "greasy to the touch, insoluble in water, and soluble in alcohol and ether: lipids comprise the fats and other esters with analogous properties and constitute, with proteins and carbohydrates, the chief structural components of living cells." So, lipids are molecules that don't dissolve in water, and act as cell 'building blocks.'What Are The Kinds Of Lipids? There are many kinds of lipids. The most familiar types of lipids are triglycerides (a fatty acid) and cholesterol (a waxy, fatty lipid).Is A Lipid A Fat? Although some use the term 'lipid' interchangeably with the term 'fat,' in fact, lipids and fats are not exactly synonymous. Rather, fats are a kind of lipid, specifically referred to as triglycerides. Triglycerides help move fat and sugar from the liver. Usually a cholesterol 'lipid panel' test measures triglycerides (in addition to total cholesterol, HDL, and LDL cholesterol) because high triglycerides are correlated with risk of heart disease.What Is A Lipoprotein? Lipoproteins are structures that contain both lipids and proteins. When a lipid (like the fat triglyceride) attaches to a protein, that structure is called a lipoprotein. The function of a lipoprotein is to carry the lipid around the body through the blood. Examples of lipoproteins include high-density (HDL) and low-density (LDL), which enable lipids like cholesterol to be carried to the liver.Conclusion Lipids are molecules that don't dissolve in water; common and important lipids include triglycerides and cholesterol. A lipoprotein is a structure made up of a lipid and a protein. The job of lipoproteins is to carry the non-soluble lipids (like cholesterol and triglycerides) through the blood.Did You Know? When you have your cholesterol checked, the HDL and LDL readings are actually measurements of the lipoproteins carrying the cholesterol, not the cholesterol itself.
What are the different types of cholesterol?
well there are two types of cholesterol:1) LDL (Low - density cholesterol) which is bad cholesterol2) HDL (high- density cholesterol) which is good cholesterol and it helps get rid of LDL
Is there a drug called Omacor?
Yes, it is used in the treatment of high cholesterol. Omacor reduces triglycerides by different, independent effects in the liver. The synthesis of triglycerides is inhibited through reduced production of triglycerides in the liver, as EPA and DHA are poor substrates for the enzymes responsible for triglyceride synthesis. EPA and DHA also inhibit esterification of other fatty acids. Omacor increases peroxisomomal beta-oxidation of fatty acids in the liver.
What are fats and cholesterol called?
Fitilatalable Cholesterol
Why are triglycerides called a neutral fat?
Triglycerides is just another word for fats. The "tri" means 3 fatty acids and glyceride refers to glycerin that the fatty acids are bonded to.
Can be stored as triglycerides in your adipose tissue?
Knowing that animal triglycerides are generally called "fats" may help you.
Triglycerides are the monomers for what type of macromolecule?
Triglycerides are macromolecules called lipids, better known as fats or oils. Triglycerides are named for the monomer components they contain. "Tri" means three, and triglycerides are built from monomers of three fatty acids bonded to a glycerol.
Lipids which are used to store energy and cushion structures are called?
Triglycerides
