The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of lipids, compounds soluble in an organic solvent but not, or sparingly, in an aqueous solvent. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of steroids, compounds with a 1,2,cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene nucleus; includes de novo formation and steroid interconversion by modification. Any process that increases the rate, frequency or extent of a vitamin D biosynthetic process. Vitamin D biosynthesis is the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of vitamin D, any of a group of related, fat-soluble compounds that are derived from delta-5,7 steroids and play a central role in calcium metabolism. Specific forms of vitamin D include calciferol (ergocalciferol; vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (calciol; vitamin D3). Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of bile acids. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of steroids, compounds with a 1,2,cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene nucleus. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving steroids. Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of steroids, compounds with a 1,2,cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene nucleus. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of lipids. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of ergosterol. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of substances. Any process that increases the rate, frequency, or extent of cholesterol metabolism, the chemical reactions and pathways involving cholesterol, cholest-5-en-3 beta-ol, the principal sterol of vertebrates and the precursor of many steroids, including bile acids and steroid hormones. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of lipids. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving steroids. Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of steroid hormones,compounds with a 1, 2, cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene nucleus that act as hormones. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving lipids. The chemical reactions and pathways involving steroids, compounds with a 1,2,cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene nucleus.
