Description
Compounds of glycerol and fatty acids that are the main source of energy in the body. They are synthesized in the intestine from fats supplied with food and are transported by blood to organs and tissues as part of chylomicrons. They are stored in adipose tissue and, as needed, break down into glycerol and fatty acids with the formation of a large amount of energy. The test is used to assess lipid metabolism in the body and the risk of developing atherosclerosis.
