Where are the major stores of triglycerides in the body?
A
Liver
B
Skeletal muscle
C
Liver and adipose tissue
D
Skeletal muscle and adipose tissue
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When there is an excess of triglycerides in the body, they can be stored in the liver or in fat cells to supply the body with energy when it is required. This is a natural process that provides a sustained source of energy for the body, particularly between meals, as triglycerides are a stored energy source.

Detailed explanation-2: -These are the calories that you eat, but your body does not need right away. Your body changes these extra calories into triglycerides and stores them in fat cells. When your body needs energy, it releases the triglycerides. Your VLDL cholesterol particles carry the triglycerides to your tissues.

Detailed explanation-3: -Triglycerides, or triacylglycerols, are the main storage form of fats within the body. They are predominantly found as solids in peripheral adipocytes and circulate in all the subtypes of lipoprotein carrier.

Detailed explanation-4: -Triglycerides and lipids, both high-energy molecules, are stored in adipose tissue until they are needed. Although lipogenesis occurs in the cytoplasm, the necessary acetyl CoA is created in the mitochondria and cannot be transported across the mitochondrial membrane.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fats or lipids are broken down in the liver for use as energy. They are then moved to fat tissue. More than 90% of body energy is stored here and is the main source of fuel storage for the body.
