Premises:

Responses:

adiponectin

fats that contain a fatty acid in which two or more carbon-carbon bonds are not saturated with hydrogen

adipocyte

a hormone produced by fat cells involved in the regulation of energy balance and body weight

monounsaturated fats

molecules of fat in which the adjacent carbons within fatty acids are linked by single bonds

leptin

compounds that are insoluble in water and soluble in fat

diglyceride

the addition of hydrogen to unsaturated fatty acids

trans fats

components of fats required in the diet

white fat

a fat in which the glycerol molecule has one fatty acid attached to it

glycerol

a connective tissue that primarily contains adipocytes that store fat in the form of triglycerides

polyunsaturated fats

the syrupy, colorless liquid component of fats that is soluble in water

brown fat

a fat-soluble, colorless liquid found primarily in animals

monoglyceride

the primary type of fat in the body and the major source of the body's energy reserves

saturated fats

a hormone produced by fat cells that increases insulin sensitivity and utilization of fat stores and decreases inflammation

adipose tissue

a type of unsaturated fatty acid produced by the addition of hydrogen to liquid vegetable oils to make them more solid

cholesterol

fats in which the glycerol molecule has three fatty acids attached to it

essential fatty acids

fats that contain a fatty acid in which one carbon-carbon bond is not saturated with hydrogen

lipids

the type of fat primarily located above the shoulder blades, around the spinal cord, chest, and neck areas

hydrogenation

a fat cell

triglycerides

a fat in which the glycerol molecule has two fatty acids attached to it
