  2. Lipogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipogenesis

    Both the adipose tissue and the liver can synthesize triglycerides. Those produced by the liver are secreted from it in the form of very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL). VLDL particles are secreted directly into blood, where they function to deliver the endogenously derived lipids to peripheral tissues.

  3. Hypertriglyceridemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertriglyceridemia

    Hypertriglyceridemia is the presence of high amounts of triglycerides in the blood.Triglycerides are the most abundant fatty molecule in most organisms. Hypertriglyceridemia occurs in various physiologic conditions and in various diseases, and high triglyceride levels are associated with atherosclerosis, even in the absence of hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol levels) and predispose to ...

  4. Lipolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipolysis

    Triglycerides are transported through the blood to appropriate tissues (adipose, muscle, etc.) by lipoproteins such as Very-Low-Density-Lipoproteins . Triglycerides present on the VLDL undergo lipolysis by the cellular lipases of target tissues, which yields glycerol and free fatty acids. Free fatty acids released into the blood are then ...

  5. Lipid metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_metabolism

    Lipids are stored in white adipose tissue as triglycerides. In a lean young adult human, the mass of triglycerides stored represents about 10–20 kilograms. Triglycerides are formed from a backbone of glycerol with three fatty acids. Free fatty acids are activated into acyl-CoA and esterified to finally reach the triglyceride droplet.

  6. Triglyceride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triglyceride

    Triglycerides are the main constituents of body fat in humans and other vertebrates as well as vegetable fat. [2] They are also present in the blood to enable the bidirectional transference of adipose fat and blood glucose from the liver and are a major component of human skin oils. [3] Many types of triglycerides exist.

    All plasma proteins except Gamma-globulins are synthesised in the liver. [1] Human serum albumin, osmolyte and carrier protein; α-fetoprotein, the fetal counterpart of serum albumin; Soluble plasma fibronectin, forming a blood clot that stops bleeding; C-reactive protein, opsonin on microbes, [2] acute phase protein; Various other globulins

    Triglycerides are a type of fat found in your blood. Having high triglycerides—known as hypertriglyceridemia—can contribute to the thickening of your artery walls, increasing the risk of ...

  9. Very low-density lipoprotein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_low-density_lipoprotein

    Very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), density relative to extracellular water, is a type of lipoprotein made by the liver. [1] VLDL is one of the five major groups of lipoproteins (chylomicrons, VLDL, intermediate-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein) that enable fats and cholesterol to move within the water-based solution of the bloodstream.
