Message definition (Triglyceride)
A '''triglyceride''' ('''TG''', '''triacylglycerol''', '''TAG''', or '''triacylglyceride''') is an [[ester]] derived from [[glycerol]] and three [[fatty acids]] (from ''[[wikt:tri-#Prefix|tri-]]'' and ''[[glyceride]]'').
Triglycerides are the main constituents of [[body fat]] in humans and other vertebrates, as well as [[vegetable fat]].
They are also present in the blood to enable the bidirectional transference of [[Adipose tissue|adipose]] fat and blood glucose from the liver, and are a major component of [[sebum|human skin oils]].

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 vertebrates, as well as vegetable fat. They are also present in the blood to enable the bidirectional transference of adipose fat and blood glucose from the liver, and are a major component of human skin oils.
