Asians often consume foods high in carbohydrates with the addition of MSG as a flavor enhancer. Foods and are predicted to be obesogen. This study aims explore effects carbohydrate (HC), (HMSG), combination (HCHMSG) intake onset obesity. Seven-week-old male Swiss Webster strain mice (Mus musculus) (n=40) were divided into four groups. The control group consisted 57% carbohydrates, 9% fiber, 6.11% fat. HC was given food consisting 71% carbohydrate, 4.62% 1.81% fat for 14 weeks; HMSG group's diet an additional 10% HCHMSG fiber MSG. Significant weight gain (p<0.05) began at fourth week groups sixth week. After weeks (BW 45.07±4.41; p<0.05) obese (42,817±7,149; p>0.05). WAT increases significantly both
