The chemical reactions and pathways involving lipids, compounds soluble in an organic solvent but not, or sparingly, in an aqueous solvent. Includes fatty acids; neutral fats, other fatty-acid esters, and soaps; long-chain (fatty) alcohols and waxes; sphingoids and other long-chain bases; glycolipids, phospholipids and sphingolipids; and carotenes, polyprenols, sterols, terpenes and other isoprenoids. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of fatty acids. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of fatty acid oxidation. Any process that modulates the chemical reactions and pathways involving any of a class of organic compounds that contain the carbonyl group, CO, and in which the carbonyl group is bonded only to carbon atoms. The general formula for a ketone is RCOR, where R and R are alkyl or aryl groups. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving fatty acids. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving lipids. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways by which individual cells transform chemical substances. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways within a cell or an organism. The chemical reactions and pathways involving monocarboxylic acids, any organic acid containing one carboxyl (COOH) group or anion (COO-). Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving fatty acids. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways by which individual cells transform chemical substances. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of a cellular process, any of those that are carried out at the cellular level, but are not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. The chemical reactions and pathways involving fatty acids, aliphatic monocarboxylic acids liberated from naturally occurring fats and oils by hydrolysis. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving lipids. The chemical reactions and pathways by which individual cells transform chemical substances. The chemical reactions and pathways involving lipids, as carried out by individual cells.
