Cats in Positive Energy Balance Have Lower Rates of Adipose Gain When Fed Diets Containing 188 versus 121 ppm L-Carnitine

Table 3

Fasting and fed adjusted AUC for RQ and EE in adult cats fed LC121 or LC188 supplemented diets above their maintenance energy requirement at baseline and during the 16-week LC feeding.

	10			0.33
	14			0.26
Fasting EE (kcal/(kgd))	Baseline			0.64
	4			0.96
	6			0.89
