| triacetic acid lactone lyase | <enzyme> Non-hydrolytic; froms acetyl-CoA from triacetic acid lactone plus ATP plus CoA Registry number: EC 4.2.99.- Synonym: ATP tal (26 Jun 1999) |
| triacetin | <chemical> A triglyceride that is used as an antifungal agent. Pharmacological action: antifungal agents, anti-infective agents, local. Chemical name: 1,2,3-Propanetriol, triacetate (12 Dec 1998) |
| triacetoneamine-n-oxyl | <chemical> 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidone-n-oxyl. Cyclic n-oxide radical functioning as a spin label and radiation-sensitizing agent. Chemical name: 1-Piperidinyloxy, 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-oxo- (12 Dec 1998) |

| triacid | <chemistry> Capable of neutralising three molecules of a monobasic acid or the equivalent; having three hydrogen atoms which may be acid radicals; said of certain bases; thus, glycerin is a triacid base. Origin: Pref. Tri- + acid. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| triacyl glycerols | <biochemistry> Storage fats of animal adipose tissue where they are largely glycerol esters of saturated fatty acids. Also found in the bloodstream with normal blood levels between 10-150 milligrams per decilitre. Elevations of the triglyceride level (particularly in association with elevated cholesterol) have been correlated with the development of atherosclerosis, the underlying cause of heart disease and stroke. In plants they tend to be esters of unsaturated fatty acids (vegetable oils). Present as a minor component of cell membrane. Important energy supply in heart muscle. (27 Sep 1997) |
| triacylglycerol | Glycero l esterified at each of its three hydroxyl groups by a fatty (aliphatic) acid; e.g., tristearoylglycerol. Synonym: fat, triglyceride. Triacylglycerol lipase, the fat-splitting enzyme in pancreatic juice; it hydrolyzes triacylglycerol to produce a diacylglycerol and a fatty acid anion; a deficiency of the hepatic enzyme results in hypercholesterolaemia and hypertriglyceridemia. Synonym: steapsin, tributyrase, tributyrinase. (05 Mar 2000) |
