Abstract

Aim of study is to evaluate the influence of Monosodium glutamate on lipid profile (Cholesterol, Triglyceride, LDL and HDL) and heart tissues of Wistar rats. Group one represented non treated rat(Control), group two received 0.5 g monosodium glutamate ((MSG), group three received i.0 g MSG and group four received 1.5 g MSG. Results indicated that significance increasing in serum cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL (low density lipoprotein), HDL ( High density lipoprotein) with increasing the dose of MSG. In addition, change in heart tissues of rats is clear observed in low, mid and high dose of MSG compared with non- treated rats. The experiment was clear indicated the effect MSG on lipid profile and heart tissues of Wistar rats.
