GO: 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. [GOC:ma],CSP: sum of chemical changes that occur within the tissues of an organism consisting of anabolism (biosynthesis) and catabolism of lipids; the buildup and breakdown of lipids for utilization by the organism.,NCI: Anabolic and catabolic biochemical changes to lipids within a cell as materials needed for important life processes.,MSH: Physiological processes in biosynthesis (anabolism) and degradation (catabolism) of LIPIDS.
