	triacylglycerols (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
		Triacylglycerol molecules consist of three fatty acid chains attached to a glycerol backbone.
		The glycerol molecule has a plane of symmetry and a "stereospecific numbering" (sn) system is used to describe the position of each fatty acid as shown in the figure.
		The addition of a third fatty acid results in triacylglycerol which is extremely insoluble and coalesces to form oil droplets.

	Analysis of triacylglycerols
		Triacylglycerols contain three fatty chains which vary in length and degree of unsaturation, thus, forming several molecular species.
		An evaluation of the total amount of triacylglycerols in an oil sample can be made by the determination of glycerol as previously described after a saponification step.
		The quantification of triacylglycerols is easily made in the µg range after separation by TLC in combination with GLC analysis of fatty acids.

		Triacylglycerols are used primarily for energy storage in animals.
		The processing of glucose to triacylglycerols rather than glycogen, and its reverse, require metabolic energy and one would expect, since energy storage as triacylglycerols is clearly preferred, that there is a major advantage to this form of energy storage.
		Moreover, the triacylglycerols are hydrophobic and are stored in nearly anhydrous form by living organisms, while glycogen is hydrophilic; one gram of dry glycogen binds, under physiological conditions, about two grams of water.

		As was well-known from studies involving hydrolysis with pancreatic lipase, position sn-2 of the triacylglycerols of seed oils is greatly enriched in the polyunsaturated fatty acids (specifically linoleic and linolenic acids), while saturated fatty acids are concentrated in the primary positions, and monoenoic acids are relatively evenly distributed.
		With the latter in the liver triacylglycerols, for example, the stearic acid is distributed approximately equally between the three positions, and the oleic acid is present in high concentrations in positions sn-2 and sn-3, thus differing from the depot fats (Table 2).
		In the triacylglycerols of Mycobacterium smegmatis, oleic acid is the main component of position sn-1, palmitic acid is the main component of position sn-2, while C18 and longer-chain fatty acids are the principal constituents of position sn-3; indeed 90% of the 24:0 is in position sn-3 [22].

	Fatty acid oxidation and ketone bodies
		Pancreatic lipase degrades triacylglycerols at the 1 and 3 positions sequentially to generate 1,2-diacylglycerols and 2-acylglycerols.
		The triacylglycerol components of VLDLs and chylomicrons are hydrolyzed to free fatty acids and glycerol in the capillaries of adipose tissue and skeletal muscle by the action of lipoprotein lipase.
		The blood is the carrier of triacylglycerols in the form of VLDLs and chylomicrons, fatty acids bound to albumin, amino acids, lactate, ketone bodies and glucose.

		The triacylglycerol content of both soleus and gastrocnentius muscle was significantly elevated in cp/cp rats at 4 weeks of age and rose rapidly thereafter.
		The accumulation of triacylglycerol within the fibers cannot be explained by increased muscle LPL activity, which was lower in the muscle of cp/cp rats of 1 month of age.

		Initially, these were isolated by TLC on silica gel impregnated with boric acid, separated into saturated and unsaturated fractions by silver ion chromatography, converted to the dinitrophenylurethane derivatives and then resolved on a chiral column.

		A recent study was conducted to evaluate the effect of a meal rich in virgin olive oil on triacylglycerol composition of human postprandial TRL, and to assess the role of the triacylglycerol molecular species concentration and polarity on lipoprotein clearance.
		At the two and six hour marks, the triacylglycerols in the lipoprotein fraction still resembled the composition of the olive oil, however the proportions of the individual molecular species were altered by the processes leading to their formation.
		The proportion of triolein decreased and the proportions of palmitoyl-oleoyllinoleoyl-glycerol and linoleoyl-dioleoyl-glycerol significantly increased compared with the composition of the triacylglycerols in the olive oil.

		The triacylglycerols in the lipoprotein fraction at 2 h generally reflected the composition of the olive oil, however, the proportions of the individual molecular species were altered by the processes leading to their formation.
		The fastest conversion of lipoproteins to remnants occurred from 2 to 4 h and was directly related to the concentration of the triacylglycerols in the lipoprotein particle (r = 0.9969, P < 0.05) and not with its polarity (r = 0.1769, P > 0.05).

		Analysis of triacylglycerols from oil seeds and other sources are traditionally performed by analysis of the corresponding fatty acid methyl esters using GC.
		The dominating triacylglycerols in these oils are O-O-E, O-E-E and E-E-E (O = 18:1; E = 22:1) whereas, as expected, the soya bean and sunflower oils are dominated by triacylglycerols rich in linoleic acid, like L-L-L, L-L-Ln, P-L-L and O-L-L (P = 16:0, L = 18:2, Ln = 18:3).
		Identification of the individual triacylglycerols can be done using preparative SFC as illustrated in Figure 3, where the dominating triacylglycerols in Crambe abyssinica oil were fractionated and each fraction identified by GC-analysis after transformation of the triacylglycerols into the fatty acid methyl esters (FAME).

	Structural analysis of triacylglycerols
		Since no lipase has yet been found that distinguishes between position 1 and 3 of a triacylglycerol molecule, specific chemical and enzymological procedures were devised.
		The whole procedure is normally run on two days: the first day diacylglycerols (a mixture of 1,2- and 2,3-sn-isomers) are prepared from the triacylglycerols by a partial hydrolysis with a Grignard reagent.
		This enzyme reacts only with the 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerophosphatides and forms a lysophospholipid containing the fatty acids which were present in position sn-1 of the triacylglycerol molecules while the free fatty acids were released from the sn-2 position.

		Using mice and a variety of emulsified dietary lipids we found that the absorption of radiolabelled tripalmitin (containing the fatty acid 16:0), but not of triolein (18:1n-9) or tri-gamma-linolenin (18:3n-6), was incomplete from meals rich in esterified palmitate.
		These radiolabelled triacylglycerols, which have the same fatty acid in all three positions, may not always be accurate markers of the absorption of dietary triacylglycerols.
		Orlistat was more effective at inhibiting the absorption of radiolabelled triacylglycerols with which it was codissolved than those added separately, which indicates that equilibration between lipid phases in the stomach may not always be complete.

	Nutrition For Weight Loss, Issue #003 -- Foods Suspected To Be Functional Foods For Weight Loss
		In their review of the literature regarding these four food types, they found that specifically dietary fats may have the most to offer in the fight against obesity, but may only offer benefits in preventing weight gain rather than inducing weight loss.
		A weight loss study conducted with both obese men and women found that body weight loss was greater in subjects who consumed foods containing diacylglycerols as opposed to those who consumed triacylglycerols, although the percentage change in the intra-abdominal adipose tissue did not differ.
		The researchers attribute this to diacyclglyercerol's ability to increase energy expenditure, fat oxidation and reduce appetite, but concede that the overall effect is very small and will only be effective when used as a part of a rigorous weight loss plan.
