Lipid metabolism

Lipid metabolism is the synthesis and degradation of lipids in cells.

The types of lipids involved include:

Bile salts
Cholesterols
Eicosanoids
Glycolipids
Ketone bodies
Fatty acids - see also fatty acid metabolism
Phospholipids
Sphingolipids
Steroid - see also steroidogenesis
Triacylglycerols (fats) - see also lipolysis and lipogenesis

General

Aerobic respiration	Glycolysis → Pyruvate decarboxylation → Citric acid cycle → Oxidative phosphorylation (electron transport chain + ATP synthase)

Anaerobic respiration	Electron acceptors are other than oxygen

Fermentation	Glycolysis → Substrate-level phosphorylation ABE Ethanol Lactic acid
