Dietary Fat Molecules

Molecular classification
Lipid, Triglyceride, Phospholipid, Sterol, Fatty Acid
01

Overview

Dietary fat molecules are a diverse group of hydrophobic or amphipathic organic compounds essential for nutrition and physiology. They include triglycerides, phospholipids, cholesterol, and free fatty acids. They serve as a major energy source, structural components of cell membranes, precursors for signaling molecules, and aid in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
