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 breakdown of lipids. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways within a cell or an organism. Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of lipid kinase activity, the catalysis of the transfer of a phosphate group, usually from ATP, to a simple or complex lipid. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of a biological process. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule. Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving triglyceride, any triester of glycerol. 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 within a cell or an organism involving those compounds formed as a part of the normal anabolic and catabolic processes. These processes take place in most, if not all, cells of the organism. 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 within a cell or an organism. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving steroids. 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 involving isoprenoid. The chemical reactions and pathways, including anabolism and catabolism, by which living organisms transform chemical substances. Metabolic processes typically transform small molecules, but also include macromolecular processes such as DNA repair and replication, and protein synthesis and degradation. 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 those compounds which are formed as a part of the normal anabolic and catabolic processes. These processes take place in most, if not all, cells of the organism.
