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 involving ecdysteroids. 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 increases the frequency, rate or extent of cholesterol esterification. Cholesterol esterification is the lipid modification process in which a sterol ester is formed by the combination of a carboxylic acid (often a fatty acid) and cholesterol. In the blood this process is associated with the conversion of free cholesterol into cholesteryl ester, which is then sequestered into the core of a lipoprotein particle. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving lipids. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving aldosterone. 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. The chemical reactions and pathways involving steroids, compounds with a 1,2,cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene nucleus. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving glucocorticoids. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving lipids.
