► MSG induced obesity in rats. ► Hypolipidemic effects of some fibre-enriched diets was investigated in obese rats. ► The diets reversed the obesity induced hyperlipidemia in the rats. ► Obesity could be attenuated by consumption of fibre-enriched diets. In order to investigate the influence of some...
