Gut microbiota promoting propionic acid production accompanies diet-induced intentional weight loss in cats

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title><p>Rodent models and human clinical studies have shown gut microbiota-derived short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) play roles in obesity and insulin resistance. These roles have been minimally explored in cats, where in the USA an estimated 60% of cats are overweight or obese. Overweight/obese research cats (n = 7) were transitioned from a maintenance diet to a reduced calorie diet fed<italic>ad...
