A schematic structural diagram illustrates a triacylglycerol composed of a three-carbon glycerol backbone esterified via three ester linkages to fatty acyl chains, each with a carbonyl group. In biochemistry and lipid metabolism, this neutral lipid—also termed TAG (triacylglycerol) or TG (triglyceride)—is a molecule within the lipid class. In physiology, it serves as the principal energy storage substrate, mobilized by lipases to release fatty acids and glycerol.
