The mechanisms contributing to BW gain following ovariohysterectomy in domestic cats are
poorly understood. Moreover, the effects of food restriction to maintain BW following spaying …

The objective of this study was to measure changes in body composition, physical activity
and adipose and skeletal muscle gene expression of cats fed a high-protein (HP) diet or …

Objective—To determine effects of dietary lipid and protein on development of hepatic
lipidosis (HL) and on physical and biochemical indices following rapid weight loss in cats …

The effects of ovariohysterectomy on bodyweight, composition and condition score were
evaluated in 49 cats that were fed ad libitum and 11 cats that had their food allowances …

Objective—To evaluate the effect of dietary fat and energy density on body weight gain,
body composition, and total energy expenditure (TEE) in neutered and sexually intact cats …

Gonadectomy predisposes domestic cats to undesired body weight gain and obesity. The
disturbance responsible for this disregulation of energy balance has not been clearly …

Neutering is a risk factor for pet obesity, which reduces the quality and length of life. Dietary
interventions may serve as preventive and therapeutic options for pet obesity. The objective …

The aim of the current study was to measure circulating metabolic and inflammation-related
biochemical analytes in obese cats before and after weight loss. Thirty-seven overweight …

Objective To determine whether maintenance energy requirement (MER) to maintain stable
body weight (BW) is substantially lower for spayed female cats than for sexually intact …

The initial cause of post-neutering weight gain in male cats is not entirely known. There is
evidence that energy intake (EI) increases rapidly post-neutering, but it is not clear if …
