Lipid droplets in felid kidneys: prevalence and composition by lipidomics
We suggest that the common presence of such rare lipid species in tubular lipid droplets in domestic cats reflects an aspect of felid biology that parallels age-related disease prevalence, in particular, being associated with the aetiopathogenesis of chronic renal interstitial nephritis (CIN) - a hallmark of CKD in felids.
