"Obesity Leads to "Silent" Vitamin A Deficiency in Major Organs In many animals"...I wonder if it applies to chameleons too?

"Our research shows that, even if an obese animal consumes normal amounts of vitamin A, they have deficiencies of the vitamin A in major organs" ...

"We found that normal-weight mice are healthy on that diet, but obese mice show severe vitamin A deficiencies in their livers, kidneys and pancreas"...

"When the obese mice lost weight, their vitamin A levels returned to normal". "Something about the state of obesity is impairing the body's ability to use vitamin A correctly,"...
