In 202 non selected males and females the concentration of free glycerin in the fasting serum was evaluated. There was a significant parabolic correlation of the glycerin-levels in the serum with the deviation of the actual body weight from the ideal weight. There is a theory that glycerin regulates the appetite through a negative feed-back mechanism. Our findings do not contradict this hypothesis, as it cannot be excluded that feedback mechanism is disturbed in long lasting obesity. The serum level of free glycerin is not correlated with the concentration of triglycerides or total cholesterol.
