What is the difference between liquid triglycerides and solid triglycerides?
The melting point (the melting point depends on the length of the carbon chain).
What are medium-chain triglycerides?
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are a special class of fatty acids. Normal fats and oils contain long-chain fatty acids (LCTs). Compared to these fatty acids, MCTs are much shorter in length.
Which macromolecule are often made of three fatty acids bound to a glycerol molecule?
triglycerides
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.
Are triglycerides a carbohydrate?
No. Fatty acid and glycerol are what makes up a fat molecule with the ester bond.
Triglycerides are classified by what?
The shape, length, and saturation of the fatty acids are ways that triglycerides are classified. Triglycerides are classified as a fat.
What exactly is the range for high triglycerides?
The range for high triglycerides is 200-499. Borderline-high triglycerides can be anywhere from 150 to 199, so your 'severity' depends on how far you are into that bracket.
What is the difference between liquid triglycerides and solid triglycerides?
The melting point (the melting point depends on the length of the carbon chain).
Does honey increase triglycerides?
Yes. I added honey to my cacao drink daily and my triglycerides increased every week even when I maintained normal to low carbs diet. I stopped honey and switched to palm nectar then my triglycerides decreased from 155 to 114 within one week (normal range of triglycerides is<150).
What is the range for healthy levels of triglycerides?
Triglyceride levels vary by age, weight, and sex. Triglycerides are lipids that circulate in the blood stream. Measurements are usually taken when cholesterol levels are analyzed.
Is 153 in triglycerides normal for a female?
from what I've been told NORMAL range or IDEAL is 50-150.
Where can I find information about triglycerides range?
One of the easiest way to find information about triglycerides is to take a look at the website Wikipedia. WebMD is also another great website that will provide you all the information you need.
Triglycerides can be classified by which of the following characteristics?
the length of the fatty acidsthe saturation of the fatty acidsthe shape of the fatty acids
In what form are dietary lipids found?
triglycerides
How can one find out if my Triglycerides levels are in a healthy range?
it would seem to be that this big world means cholesterol it makes a risk factor for heart disease they go on to say that blood tests for triglycerides can show some variability.
What are some ways to lower triglycerides?
Triglycerides is what the fat in the human blood stream is called. One can lower the levels effectively by exercising and having a healthy diet. Too high levels of triglycerides are linked with risk of heart disease, so make sure you are in the normal range. Ask a doctor for further assistance.
What are medium-chain triglycerides?
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are a special class of fatty acids. Normal fats and oils contain long-chain fatty acids (LCTs). Compared to these fatty acids, MCTs are much shorter in length.
