Talk:Sebacic acid

Naturally occurring -- in food perhaps?
There are some brands of Copper Sebacate supplement capsules. Are they Cu+ = Cu(i) or Cu++ = Cu2+ = Cu(ii)?

Conflating sebacic acid with sebaleic acid
This article conflates the oxidation and double de-saturation of sebaleic acid to 5-oxo-(6E,8Z)-octadecadienoic acid with the oxidation and desaturation of sebacic acid, which is not oxidixed this way by neutrophils. There is no evidence that suberic acid is acted upon this way in the skin or its glands that could be found. Please delete the section of the article that presents this data. The oxo-desaturation of sebaleic acid (a.k.a. 5,8-octadecadienoic acid) is cited here and references therein: Chantal Cossette, Pranav Patel, Jaganmohan R.
