👉 Fatty fluid, also known as triglycerides, is a type of lipid found in the body, primarily stored in adipose tissue (fat cells). Composed of glycerol and three fatty acid chains, it serves as a dense energy reserve, providing a concentrated source of calories. These fatty acids can be either saturated or unsaturated, influencing their physical properties and health impacts. When mobilized from fat stores, fatty acids are released into the bloodstream and transported to tissues where they can be oxidized for energy. This process is crucial during periods of fasting or intense physical activity, ensuring the body has a reliable energy supply. Additionally, fatty fluid plays a role in cell membrane structure and function, acting as a barrier to protect cells and facilitate the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
