• Resumen

  • L-carnitine has been shown to be a repartitioning agent (i. e. ,setting metabolism toward more protein and less fat accretion) in animals used for food production. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects on body composition repartitioning (i. e. ,increasing lean body mass) of added dietary L-carnitine in adult dogs and cats.
