Q. I have increased the amount of rawhide chews I give to my Beagle, and coincidentally, her triglycerides soared. Is there any connection between the two? Otherwise, she is fed Nutro Ultra for Seniors dry mixed with a little bit of canned and water for a sauce. She is not fed fats, and has a healthy diet of fruits and veggies for snacks.
A. most raw-hides are deep fried or oven basted with chicken fat as dripping, so are just full of fat. You can get healthier ones if you search, but they cost more. Most people recommend the nylon bones, but I have heard if they are too small the dogs can swallow them whole, then you will need an operation.
I give my dogs a small healthy meaty bone to chew daily, its part of their breakfast calorie, is natural and much lower in fat.

Why is a triglyceride considered hydrophobic when it has a glycerol molecule which is hydrophilic?
Q. also- can everything be categorized as hydrophilic and hydrophobic?
lastly- if the outside of our membranes is hydrophilic wouldn't we dissolve in water?

A. The hydroxyl group of glycerol joins in an ester linkage with the carboxyl group on the lipid leaving a hydrophilic compound.
Not all compounds are one or the other some are amphiphilic with a polar hydrophilic end and a nonpolar lipophilic hydrocarbon end like the phospholipids in cell membranes.

What type of triglyceride would vegetable oil, butter and shortening be?
Q.
A. Butter- the good kind.
Vegetable oil and shortening- the bad kind.
Canola oil is much better for you than vegetable oil. :))
