A triglyceride that has hydrogen attached to every available bond on the carbons.


Holding all that can be absorbed, received, or combined, as a solution in which no more of a substance can be dissolved. This term is applied to hydrocarbons in which the maximum number of hydrogen atoms is present and there are no double or triple bonds between the carbon atoms. It is also applied to the hemoglobin-oxygen complex found in red blood cells when no more oxygen can reversibly bind to the hemoglobin.
