What's the difference between butyrin and triglyceride?

Butyrin


Definition:

  • (n.) A butyrate of glycerin; a fat contained in small quantity in milk, which helps to give to butter its peculiar flavor.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The in situ loop experiments showed that the absorption of dolichol from a triglyceride emulsion was dependent on the chain-length of the triglyceride; the absorption from a tri-n-butyrin emulsion in 1 h was 18.0% of the dose; and the absorption from an HCO-60 suspension was 4.3%.
  • (2) Lipolytic activity, determined in a medium containing 5% tri-n-butyrin, averaged 8.6 plus or minus .4 lipase units.

Triglyceride


Definition:

  • (n.) A glyceride formed by the replacement of three hydrogen atoms in glycerin by acid radicals.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Their effects on various lipid fractions, viz., triglycerides (TG), phospholipids, free cholesterol, and esterified cholesterol, were studied in liver, plasma, gonads, and muscle.
  • (2) Statistically significant increases of triglycerides occurred under the combined preparations, of phospholipids under Ovosiston and Deposiston and of the beta-lipoproteins under Ovosiston and Gravistat.
  • (3) No significant difference was found for triglycerides, uric acid, albumin and gamma-globulins.
  • (4) There was no difference in triglyceride content or phospholipid species between WKY rats and untreated SHR, except for a higher cholesterol content in SHR.
  • (5) Triglyceride (Trigly) in female dogs, glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GPT) and urea nitrogen (Urea-N) in male dogs tended to increase.
  • (6) AIS treatment lowered serum insulin levels, serum triglyceride levels, caloric intake, weight gain, liver weight, acetate 14C incorporation into cholesterol 14C, and the percentage of liver lipid that was cholesterol.
  • (7) Further significantly positive associations to the incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) were found for the following parameters: Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, family history of premature MI, cigarette smoking, plasma levels of triglycerides, VLDL-cholesterol and blood glucose.
  • (8) The same alleles were weakly associated with elevated levels of serum levels of cholesterol, triglycerides and apolipoprotein B.
  • (9) In fasted cats no changes were observed in plasma triglycerides or phospholipids.
  • (10) In comparison with native counterparts, the in vitro-formed LDL2 and HDL + VHDL were characterized by lower levels of triglyceride and cholesterol ester and higher levels of free cholesterol and lipid phosphorus.
  • (11) The triglycerides are isolated by means of thin-layer chromatography.
  • (12) Alternatively, the data presented herein strongly suggest that diets containing conventional quantities of fat, in which saturated fat is replaced by unsaturated fat and dietary cholesterol reduced, would result in the desired reductions to total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations without the adverse effects of increased postprandial glucose and insulin concentrations, increased fasting and postprandial total and very-low-density lipoprotein triglyceride concentrations, and decreased fasting high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations.
  • (13) There are statistically significant correlations between plasma triglycerides and predictors of fatness, particularly in the body, both in men and women.
  • (14) Decreases in the level of triglycerides and prebetalipoproteins were noted after filtering but the differences were not significant.

  • (16) Insulin response was not correlated with KG, whereas it was significantly associated with higher triglyceride levels.
  • (17) Patients under caloric restriction showed a reduction in their total triglyceride content, a reduction in their content of unsaturated fatty acyl groups, and a relative increase in phospholipid content.
  • (18) In vivo hepatic rates of fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis determined in meal-fed normolipidemic rats were suppressed significantly by the oral administration of (--)-hydroxycitrate for 6 hr, when control animals exhibited maximal rates of lipid synthesis; serum triglyceride and cholesterol levels were significantly reduced by (--)-hydroxycitrate.
