Triglycerides in animals and probably in plant seeds function as depots of energy. In mammals they are stored in adipose tissue until needed, at which time they are broken down to a molecule of glycerol and three molecules of fatty acid. The latter combine with albumin, a protein in blood plasma, and are carried in the bloodstream to sites of utilization. Triglycerides also serve as insulation and padding for organs in animals.
