8.2 Sebum Processing Rate

Feline Fat-Based Metabolism (Fat-Based Metabolism)

Definition

Sebum Processing Rate describes the per-unit-time state of sebaceous synthesis and release, local accommodation, and surface expression in the skin-coat system.

Sebum is synthesized and released by sebaceous glands. Skin is not a fat excretion organ. Greasy coat and acne-like chin presentation must backtrace through sebaceous synthesis and release, Local Skin Environment, Ingredient State, Fat Freshness Boundary, and upstream food structure.

Do not write “fat leaks through skin.” This page belongs to the skin-sebum mechanism layer.

Control Variables
1. Sebaceous synthesis and release

Local lipid generation and follicular release rate.

2. Local skin environment

Local Skin Environment including friction and surface conditions.

3. Energy regulation

Primary energy substrate and scheduling affect tissue substrate availability.

4. Fat processing rate

Fat Processing Rate links digestive handling to systemic fat delivery.

5. Ingredient state and fat freshness

Upstream structure inputs to sebum system stability.

skin-sebum observable outputs

Observable Outputs

Greasy coat, acne-like chin presentation, and coat texture changes are observable outputs—not proof of dietary fat excretion.

Boundary

greasy coat = fat leaking through skin

sebum rate = hygiene failure alone

Page duty

This page defines sebum processing rate only. Not a clinical diagnosis system, not a treatment protocol, not an effect-guarantee system.
