Default doubts about technical term

I would like to know the translation of a portuguese word into English. How do I say triglicerideo in English? The only thing I know is that triglicerideo is a kind of cholesterol. Can anyone help me out?

Thank ever so much



Moret

Hello Moret,

Even though I don't speak Portugese, the word you're asking about sounds familiar to me; I'm pretty sure that the English equivalent is TRIGLYCERIDE, known more in its plural form, since it's a whole group of chemical compounds related to fats.

You can find out more about triglycerides and their significance in out diet here:

Hope the above helps.

Regards,
Tee Kay
