Lipid metabolism can either be anabolic or catabolic. The answer to your question depends upon to which of these you are referring.
The primary site for lipid metabolism is the liver. It is responsible for processes such as fatty acid synthesis, cholesterol synthesis, and triglyceride metabolism. Other organs like adipose tissue and muscle also play roles in lipid metabolism.
The liver has a central role in lipid metabolism. The liver produces bile, which is required for efficient intestinal fat absorption. The post-absorptive stages of metabolism occur from the lipid absorption in the intestines.
Oral hypoglycemic drugs, such as metformin, can sometimes lead to improvements in lipid metabolism by lowering triglycerides and LDL cholesterol levels. These drugs can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in individuals with diabetes by positively impacting lipid profiles. However, the exact effects can vary depending on the specific drug and individual characteristics.
Abnormal lipid metabolism refers to the impaired processing and regulation of lipids (fats) in the body, which can lead to conditions such as dyslipidemia, obesity, or fatty liver disease. This disruption may involve elevated or decreased levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, affecting overall health and increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders. Factors contributing to abnormal lipid metabolism include genetics, diet, lifestyle, and certain medical conditions. Proper management often involves lifestyle changes and, in some cases, medication.
Insulin is a pancreatic hormone best known for its effects on glucose metabolism and its ability to lower blood sugar. But equally important are insulin effects on fat or lipid metabolism.

beta oxidation is the breakdown of fatty acids..occurs in mitochondria
Alcohol increases lipid levels by interfering with fat metabolism.

Abnormal lipid metabolism is when bad cholesterol, or HDL or triglycerides, is high and good cholesterol, or LDL, is low. It must be discussed with a physician, but it can generally be rectified with a better diet, possibly medication, and a better and regular fitness routine.
