Abstract
These studies were designed to determine the effect of (−)-hydroxycitrate upon the accumulation of lipid in the rat by examining appetite, wt gain, and total body lipid profiles. The chronic oral administration of a nontoxic dose of (−)-hydroxycitrate to growing rats for 11–30 days caused a significant reduction in body wt gain, food consumption, and total body lipid. The administration of equimolar amounts of citrate did not alter wt gain, appetite, or body lipid. No increase in liver size or liver lipid content occurred with either treatment. Pair feeding studies demonstrated that the reduction in food intake accounted for the decrease in wt gain and body lipid observed with (−)-hydroxycitrate treatment.
