thumb|upright=1.35|Example of an unsaturated fat triglyceride (C55H98O6). Left part: glycerol; right part, from top to bottom: [[palmitic acid, oleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid.]]
A triglyceride is a type of fat molecule made up of glycerol linked to three fatty acids, and it's one of the main forms in which your body stores and uses energy from food. The specific structure of a triglyceride—determined by which fatty acids it contains—affects whether it's saturated or unsaturated, which has implications for health.
