Fats and Lipids| Physiology

Fat and Lipid Introduction Fat is one of the three macronutrients in human food, along with carbohydrates and protein. Fat is any esters of fatty acids or a mixture of such compounds in food. Triglyceride is a triple esters of glycerol. One glycerol molecule contains three fatty acids. Lipids are any molecule of biological importance composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They are water, insoluble, and soluble in lipid solvents. Fat and lipids are not synonyms, but we use them for each other; they are interchangeable. Lipids consist of 1. Fats are solid or semisolid at room temperature. 2. Oils are liquid at room temperature.
