Summary: This paper studies Lipschitz and commutator estimates in (non-commutative) symmetric operator spaces $\sE $ associated with a general semi-finite von Neumann algebra $\aM $ taken in its left regular representation. In particular, we show that if $f' $ is of bounded variation and $\sE $ is a reflexive (non-commutative) $L_p $-space on $\aM $, then the Lipschitz estimate \begin{equation} \|f(a) - f(b)\|_\sE \leqslant c_f\, \|a - b\|_\sE, \end{equation} holds for arbitrary self-adjoint operators $a $ and $b $ affiliated with $\aM $.
