Electrocardiogram in Hamsters after Large Fat Meals.

Abstract
Hamsters were fed fat and oil meals in amounts ranging from 1.6 to 10.0 g/kg body weight. Ecg''s were taken before feeding and 3, 6, 9,12, 24, 48, and 72 hrs. after feedings. After fat meals (8.0 g/kg) many animals had elongated Q-T intervals and S-T segments in their ecgs. After fat meals of 10.0 g/kg 7 of 9 animals had elongation of their Q-T intervals and all had elongation of their S-T intervals. After oil meals of the same sizes no changes in ecgs were noted.
