TG probably stands for triglycerides, which measure the cholesterol in the blood. However, if you're not sure, ask your doctor or nurse to go over your results with you.

To the best of my knowledge TG in blood refers to the protein Thyroglobulin in the blood. See article at the following address: http:/www.thyca.org/thyroglobulin.htm.

What is correct Kg or kg?

Both are correct. According to the prefix naming series kg ... cg mg or Kg ... Mg Gg Tg. (note that mg and Mg are very different 1/1000 g and 1000000 g or 1/1000000 kg and 1000 Kg respectively).


Why is silk a good insulator?

Here is an abstact I found on the silk worm cocoons that will help you understand the composition and thermal properties of the silk. The thermal properties of Bombyx mori silk fibers subjected to heat treatment were examined by thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis, Fourier transform infrared absorption spectrometry (TG-DTA-FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The color, size, and shape of B. mori cocoon shells were observed as they were heated from 25 to 550°C. Only 1% of the original cocoon shell weight remains as cocoon ash after treatment at 550°C. Inorganic components, such as calcium, potassium, sulfur, magnesium, etc., were detected in the cocoon ash by energy dispersion fluorescent X-ray spectrometry. A sharp decrease in weight was observed in the TG data beginning around 280°C, and an endothermic peak appeared at 308°C, as evidenced by the DTA curves. The IR bands observed at 2380 cm-1 (OH stretching), 1760 cm-1 (CO stretching), 1503 (NH stretching), 1085 cm-1 (CN stretching) and 965 cm-1 (NH2 stretching) become stronger as an exothermic reaction beginning at 280°C takes place. This is probably due to cleavage of the main chain and the accompanying decomposition of the silk fibers. Similarly, a SEM micrograph of silk fibers treated at 300°C shows a microtubule in the middle of the silk fibers of about 25-m diameter. This suggests that the thermal reactions starts in the middle of the silk fiber and forms a microtubule. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 86: 1817-1820, 2002
