Abstract :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 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1 gr./kg);. Before the exercise + L-Carnitine application, weight measurements of the rats were recorded at the beginning of the study insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(day 1);, in the middle of the study insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(day 45); and finally at the end of the study insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(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.
