Description:
The objective of this study to assess the lipotropic effects of dietary choline supplementation in obese cats fed at maintenance energy requirement. Twelve obese cats (body condition score [BCS] ≥ 8/9) were split into two groups. Cats were fed a control (n=6; 4,587mg choline/kg dry matter [DM]) or a high choline diet (n=6; 18,957mg choline/kg DM) for 5 weeks, for adult maintenance. On days 0 and 35, fasted blood was collected. Serum lipoprotein and biochemistry profiles, plasma amino acids and plasma acylcarnitines were analyzed.
