Message definition (Triglyceride)
In nature, the formation of triglycerides is not random; rather, specific fatty acids are selectively condensed with the hydroxyl functional groups of glycerol. Animal fats typically have unsaturated fatty acid residues on carbon atoms 1 and 3. Extreme examples of non-random fats are [[cocoa butter]] (mentioned above) and [[lard]], which contains about 20% triglyceride with [[palmitic acid]] on carbon 2 and [[oleic acid]] on carbons 1 and 3. An early step in the biosynthesis is the formation of the [[glycerol-1-phosphate]]:
