Q. If a triglyceride has three fatty acids, and one is saturated, one is monosaturated, and one polyunsaturated, how do you define it. Is it overall poly or mono unsaturated, or can you only term it to be unsaturated since they are both equal?
A. a triglyceride can only be saturated or unsaturatedso even if you had one monounsaturated fa it would be classed unsaturated
What is the best way to reduce the triglyceride levels without damaging the liver by taking Lopid?
Q. My triglyceride levels are up to 450. I am not obese I just don't exercise at all. I have been getting away from carbs all together, is that good?
A. These web sites give more information http://www.healingdaily.com/conditions/triglycerides.htm and http://cholesterol.freesourcenow.com/triglyceride-levels.html
What is the difference between a triglyceride and a phospholipid?
Q. What is the difference between a triglyceride and a phospholipid? How does this difference account for the hydrophobic and hydrophilic nature of phospholipids?
A. I'm doing this at A-level now, are you?
We did this today...
A Phospholipid is Glycerol + 2 Fatty acids + 1 Phosphoric Acid
In a condensation reaction, this produces 1 phospholipid, and 3 water molecules.
The phosphate part of this has OH groups, which can form hydrogen bonds with water.
The fatty acid parts don't have Oh groups, so they are hydrophobic.
A triglyceride is made up of glycerol + 3 fatty acids (the phosphoric acid is replaced by another fatty acid, in comparison to the formula for phospholipid).
Because the phosphate part contained the OH group in the phospholipid, and it is absent in this molecule, triglyceride can not form hydrogen bonds, and so is hydrophobic.
hope this helps, i know research can be tricky, often there's either not enough, or too much more advanced information.
