Where are triglycerides stored in the body?

Q.

A. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triglycerides http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid_metabolism

wat is the process of of triglyceride absorption after digestion, from the small intestine?
Q.

A. Triglycerides are broken down into free fatty acids and glycerol by pancreatic lipase. They then enter the enterocytes in the small intestine where they are re-esterified into triglycerides and packaged into chylomicrons (which are composed of proteins, phospholipids, triglycerides, etc). The chylomicrons enter the lymphatic system via the lacteal. The chylomicrons are broken down in the lymph vessels by lipoprotein lipase and the fats are taken up by tissues that need it.

what is triglyceride in the blood?
Q. Is there a direct relationship between heart stroke and blood triglyceride levels?

A. This Article will help you out in understanding :

Triglycerides" is the chemical name for fat. Chemically, triglycerides have a three-carbon backbone (glycerol) to which are attached fatty acids, which are strings of carbon and hydrogen atoms, most of which will eventually be oxidized to carbon dioxide and water, producing energy in the process. When not being actively oxidized or metabolized, triglycerides are stored in adipose, or fatty tissue, for oxidation at a later time. High levels of triglycerides in the blood have been associated with increased risk for heart attacks and strokes. Triglycerides may be increased by heredity, abdominal obesity, resistance to insulin, diabetes, and certain medications. They may be decreased by weight loss, control of glucose in diabetes, decreased simple sugar intake in the diet, and increased activity.
