Triglycerides? Triglycerid is a common misspelling of triglycerides.

Triglycerides are the most concentrated form of energy found within the body, producing more than twice the amount of energy per gram than protein and carbohydrates. They are also important because they break down to form other fats used to build cells within the body. Triglycerides are made in the liver but also come from the fats in foods. There are normally low levels of triglycerides in the blood, but if high levels develop, it can increase your risk of heart disease or other health problems over time.
