摘要：The aim of this study was to investigate theeffect of L-Caritine supplemented elderly rats on weight loss during 12 weeks.This experimental study was carried out on experimental animals in a scientificlaboratory environment, under defined conditions and according to the method ofapplication. Therefore, the model of the research is an experimental researchmodel. In this study, 8 obese aged rats were used for 20 months. Approximately70 years of human life is equivalent. The rats were given special cholesterolfood for obesity. In the study, L-Carnitine was administered to the experimentalgroup 3 times a week just before the exercise, with the daily dose of thesublingual fluid administered to the rats in a suitable dose (1 gr./kg). Beforethe exercise + L-Carnitine application, weight measurements of the rats wererecorded at the beginning of the study (day 1), in the middle of the study (day45) and finally at the end of the study (day 90). The “IBM SPSS Statistics 22analiz package program was used to evaluate the statistical analysis of thestudy. Normal distribution assumptions were evaluated with Kolmogorov-Smirnovand Shapiro-Wilk tests. In the rare cases where the two tests arecontradictory, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test result, which is more preferred insmall data sets, was used. Type 1 error margin for normality tests is taken as0.05. At the end of the study, it was determined that the weight of the oldobese rats who used L-Carnitine together with the regular exercise for 12weeks, both on the 45th and 90th days, was found.
