The chemical reactions and pathways involving neutral lipids, lipids only soluble in solvents of very low polarity. The chemical reactions and pathways involving glycerol ethers, any anhydride formed between two organic hydroxy compounds, one of which is glycerol. The chemical reactions and pathways involving acylglycerol, any mono-, di- or triester of glycerol with (one or more) fatty acids. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of a triglyceride, any triester of glycerol. The chemical reactions and pathways involving triglyceride, any triester of glycerol. The three fatty acid residues may all be the same or differ in any permutation. Triglycerides are important components of plant oils, animal fats and animal plasma lipoproteins. The chemical reactions and pathways involving glycerolipids, any lipid with a glycerol backbone. Diacylglycerol and phosphatidate are key lipid intermediates of glycerolipid biosynthesis. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of a triglyceride, any triester of glycerol. Any process that decreases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving triglyceride, any triester of glycerol. Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving triglyceride, any triester of glycerol. The release of triglycerides, any triester of glycerol, from storage within cells or tissues, making them available for metabolism. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving triglyceride, any triester of glycerol.
