4414 T3D4360 Glycerol Glycerol is an important component of triglycerides (i.e. fats and oils) and of phospholipids. glycerol is a three-carbon substance that forms the backbone of fatty acids in fats. When the body uses stored fat as a source of energy, glycerol and fatty acids are released into the bloodstream. The glycerol component can be converted to glucose by the liver and provides energy for cellular metabolism. 56-81-5 753 C3H8O3 92.09 20°C 1000.0 mg/mL No indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC). This is an endogenously produced metabolite found in the human body. It is used in metabolic reactions, catabolic reactions or waste generation. Chronically high levels of glycerol are associated with Glycerol Kinase Deficiency. 2014-08-29T06:34:10Z 2026-04-16T22:55:01Z Glycerol C00116 17522 GLYCEROL DB04077 GOL true OCC(O)CO C3H8O3 InChI=1S/C3H8O3/c4-1-3(6)2-5/h3-6H,1-2H2 PEDCQBHIVMGVHV-UHFFFAOYSA-N 92.0938 92.047344122 Endogenous Liquid -1.76 HMDB00131 CHEMBL692 733 <p>Tatsuro Tsuneno, Masaaki Takaku, &#8220;Process for preparing boric esters of glycerol fatty acid esters.&#8221; U.S. Patent US4515725, issued March, 1968.</p> CHEM003320 DTXSID9020663 NS00004097 propane-1,2,3-triol
