   Triglyceride
   Triglyceride is one of the major fatty substances in the blood. Each triglyceride molecule consists of one molecule of glycerol combined with three molecules of fatty acids. Triglycerides are consumed in food.and during digestion break down into separate molecules of fatty acids and glycerol. These molecules may be used by cells for energy, or they may be recombined into triglycerides and stored as fat for later use.
