Another word for "fats." Lipids can be more formally defined as substances such as a fat‚ oil or wax that dissolves in alcohol but not in water. Lipids contain carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen but have far less oxygen proportionally than carbohydrates. They are found in places as diverse as egg yolks and the human nervous system and are important component of plant‚ animal and microbial membranes A fatty or waxy are organic compound that is readily soluble in nonpolar solvent (e.g. ether)

He ask what are triglycerides me being the physician that I am I explain that triglyceride is an ester formed from glycerol and three fatty acid groups. Triglycerides are the main constituents of natural fats and oils‚ and high concentrations in the blood indicate an elevated risk of stroke. Cholesterol is the compound of the sterol

Another (2) advantage to SFA is the increase of HDL cholesterol HDL is important because it removes free cholesterol from extra hepatic tissues. It also transfers cholesterol esters to VLDL or delivers them to the liver: There‚ HDL is degraded and cholesterol is released. These actions improve the ability to move cholesterol to sites where it is required. Additionally‚ the movement of free cholesterol and cholesterol esters help prevent cholesterol deposit and plaque buildup in blood

following information: Cholesterol is a soft‚ waxy substance that is found in the fats in your blood. It is produced in the liver and carried through your blood attached to proteins called lipoproteins. Cholesterol is essential for normal body function‚ however‚ if your cholesterol is too high it can increase your risk of heart disease. A blood test measures the level of the three main types of lipoproteins: • HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) is the “good” cholesterol. It protects your heart

go to the doctor’s office to get your cholesterol checked and you are told that you have low cholesterol. You probably think that this is a good thing. What if I was to tell you that this is not a good thing? The low cholesterol that you have is your High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL). This is the good cholesterol. The one that protects against heart attack and low levels increase the risk of heart disease. It is also believed that HDL carries excess cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the
