| Summary: | The aim of this study was to investigate the
effect of L-Caritine supplemented elderly rats on weight loss during 12 weeks.
This experimental study was carried out on experimental animals in a scientific
laboratory environment, under defined conditions and according to the method of
application. Therefore, the model of the research is an experimental research
model. In this study, 8 obese aged rats were used for 20 months. Approximately
70 years of human life is equivalent. The rats were given special cholesterol
food for obesity. In the study, L-Carnitine was administered to the experimental
group 3 times a week just before the exercise, with the daily dose of the
sublingual fluid administered to the rats in a suitable dose (1 gr./kg). Before
the exercise + L-Carnitine application, weight measurements of the rats were
recorded at the beginning of the study (day 1), in the middle of the study (day
45) and finally at the end of the study (day 90). The “IBM SPSS Statistics 22
analiz package program was used to evaluate the statistical analysis of the
study. Normal distribution assumptions were evaluated with Kolmogorov-Smirnov
and Shapiro-Wilk tests. In the rare cases where the two tests are
contradictory, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test result, which is more preferred in
small data sets, was used. Type 1 error margin for normality tests is taken as
0.05. At the end of the study, it was determined that the weight of the old
obese rats who used L-Carnitine together with the regular exercise for 12
weeks, both on the 45th and 90th days, was found. |
