Gonadectomy predisposes domestic cats to undesired body weight gain and obesity. The
disturbance responsible for this disregulation of energy balance has not been clearly
identified. Energy intake and expenditure, body composition and plasma concentrations of
leptin, insulin, glucose and triacylglycerol were determined during a 36-wk period in adult
male (2–5 y) gonadectomized (n= 8) and intact (n= 8) normal cats and gonadectomized (n=
8) and intact (n= 8) lipoprotein lipase (LPL)–deficient cats. Cats were housed individually in�…
