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.
Endogenous pathway for lipid metabolism: 1  VLDL is formed in the liver from triglycerides and cholesterol esters. 2  These can be hydrolyzed by lipoprotein lipase to form IDL or VLDL remnants. 3  VLDL remnants are cleared from the circulation or incorporated into LDL. VLDL is formed in the liver from triglycerides and cholesterol esters. 2  These can be hydrolyzed by lipoprotein lipase to form IDL or VLDL remnants. 3  VLDL remnants are cleared from the circulation or incorporated into LDL. 4  LDL particles contain a core of cholesterol esters and a smaller amount of triglyceride.
