(n.) One of the constituents of animal fats and also of some vegetable fats, as the butter of cacao. It is especially characterized by its solidity, so that when present in considerable quantity it materially increases the hardness, or raises the melting point, of the fat, as in mutton tallow. Chemically, it is a compound of glyceryl with three molecules of stearic acid, and hence is technically called tristearin, or glyceryl tristearate.
Example Sentences:

(8) The chromatographic system used successfully separated the critical pairs OOO-LOS, PaPaO-LnPP and PaOO-LOP (O = olein; L = linolein; S = stearin; Pa = palmitolein; Ln = linolenin; P = palmitin).

(10) Ricinoleic acid, oleic acid, dioctyl sodium sulphosuccinate, deoxycholic acid and sennoside A + B stimulated release of PGE-like material into the colonic lumen whereas the osmotic laxative mannitol and stearinic acid did not.
(11) Plasma cholesterol levels of rats fed soybean oil were significantly lower than those of rats fed corn oil, palm oil, palm olein or palm stearin.
(12) The amount of PGE release in experiments with ricinoleic acid, oleic acid, stearinic acid and dioctyl sodium sulphosuccinate (with and without indomethacin) showed a good correlation (r = 0.99) with the change in net water flux.
(13) In the patients with chronic hepatitis, as compared with the controls higher contents of cholesterin, total lipids, phospholipids, triglyceride, beta-LP, NEFA, LPL, endogene heparin, stearinic, palmitic, palmitoleic and oleic acids and blood sugar were found.
(14) In the early state of intoxication serum concentrations of palmitoleinic and oleic acid were more increased than those of stearinic acid.
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.

(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.
(15) The examination of the elution pattern of the triglyceride and cholesterol revealed that this large LDL was composed of a large amount of triglyceride.
(16) Insulin response was not correlated with KG, whereas it was significantly associated with higher triglyceride levels.
