Triglyceride is a stored heat source. As the name implies, triglycerides are fat components in the human body. If you take pork or beef as an example, then triglycerides are the white fat part. Subcutaneous fat is the accumulation of triglycerides. Triglyceride is a combination of three molecules of fatty acid and one molecule of glycerol. Generally, it will become a storage of fatty acids and will be decomposed according to the needs of the body.

The decomposed fatty acids will be used as the heat source of our life activities. Fatty acids separated from triglycerides are free fatty acids, which are an efficient heat source and can be used quickly in life activities.

In addition, subcutaneous fat has the functions of maintaining body temperature, protecting the body from cold and buffering the body from external attacks.

In other words, triglycerides have played an important role in the process of human evolution to adapt to the harsh nature and survival. However, in modern life with comfortable environment and rich edible substances, triglycerides are facing the danger of increasing excessive accumulation. The content of triglycerides in different stages of human body is different; The normal reference value of triglyceride [1] is: children.
