DISCUSSION
An important goal for obesity management
is to lose fat while retaining lean body mass.
Fat loss, as opposed to weight loss, is associated
with decreased mortality in humans.
Lean body mass retention is important for
maintaining resting energy requirements,
which may lessen the risk for weight
rebound.
In cats, total energy expenditure
is directly related to lean body mass.
Furthermore, lean body mass serves an
important role as a protein reservoir to support
protein turnover.
Protein turnover not
only contributes to energy expenditure, but
supports synthesis of life-critical proteins,
including immunoproteins
