%X This research determined the effect of monosodium glutamate (MSG) on selected tissue lipids and haematological indices of neonatal and adult Wistar rats. Pups were administered 4 mg/kg MSG on postnatal days 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, raised for 32 weeks, and afterwards divided into 3 groups (n = 7) and administered saline, 5 and 10 mg/kg body weight of MSG, respectively, for 6 weeks. Two other groups, not exposed to MSG at neonatal age, were similarly administered 5 and 10 mg/kg body weight of MSG, respectively, for 6 weeks. The control received saline. Serum and brain lipids and haematology were determined and compared. Body weight was found to decrease (P
