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.
1 Two types of lipoproteins are triglyceride-rich: the chylomicrons and VLDL. 2  Chylomicrons are synthesized by enterocytes from lipids absorbed in the small intestine. 3  VLDL is synthesized in the liver. 4  The function of these lipoproteins is to deliver energy-rich triacylglycerol (TAG) to cells in the body (pink pathway).efer to it as you read about the different lipoproteins. 1  Chylomicrons and VLDL deliver TAG to cells in the body. 2  LDL delivers cholesterol to cells in the body. 3  HDL is involved in reverse cholesterol transport.
