on newborn rats was done by Drug Research. Newborn rats were injected with Monosodium glutamate for 4 grams per kilogram from day 2 to day 14 after birth on alternating days. Monosodium glutamate is a manufactured amino acid that is toxic and can lead to diabetes‚ high blood pressure‚ and excessive weight gain (http://www.global). On day 43 to 70‚ each rate was treated orally with an extract of Trigonella foenum-graecum seeds. What was discovered was that during the time period that rats were given

deviate from a healthy (lean) patient towards obesity. I plan on using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging to examine the rate of increased mass and deviations from healthy systolic/diastolic functions towards a state of obesity. Laboratory rats (Rattus norvegicus) provide a unique opportunity for manipulation and observation of a cardiovascular system that is extremely similar to the human cardiovascular system. They allow for specific questions to be analyzed that could provide insight
