I am absolutely thrilled to have started my summer project! So far, I have received the female rats for my research and acclimated them to regular handling and their new cages. For a week and a half, I collected baseline (pre-experiment) data, including the body weights and food intake of the animals. This step is crucial to ensure that the animals are eating within normal limits and to establish average body weights and food intake for reference once semaglutide (SEMA) administration begins.
