How Alcohol is Measured in the Body. People may drink the same amount of a beverage, but the percentage of alcohol in the blood depends on gender, body weight, strength of the drink, size of the drink, whether there is food in the stomach, and time spent drinking.
A triglyceride (TG, triacylglycerol, TAG, or triacylglyceride) is an ester derived from glycerol and three fatty acids (from tri- and glyceride). Triglycerides are the main constituents of body fat in humans and other animals, as well as vegetable fat.
There are different types of lipids, but what they all have in common is that they do not dissolve in water. Fatty acids are lipids made of long chains of hydrogen and carbon. Waxes are made of fatty acids and alcohols. Sphingolipids may have fatty acids, alcohol, phosphate and nitrogen, while triacylglycerides are made of a substance called glycerol and three fatty acids. Fats are triacylglycerides that are solid at room temperature, but when the triacylglycerides are liquid, they are called oils.
