Nephrotoxic effect of MSG (monosodium glutamate) in the chicken.
In order to prove sodium toxicity of MSG, baby chicks known to be the most susceptible one to sodium chloride were chosen as the experimental animal. Almost isotonic solution of MSG, NaCI or monopotassium glutamate was given ad libitum as the sole source of drinking water. Two-day old chickens given MSG died of gout within a few days and showed higher mortality and lesions severer than those gi...
متن کاملBiochemical Alterations during the Obese-Aging Process in Female and Male Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)-Treated Mice
Obesity, from children to the elderly, has increased in the world at an alarming rate over the past three decades, implying long-term detrimental consequences for individual's health. Obesity and aging are known to be risk factors for metabolic disorder development, insulin resistance and inflammation, but their relationship is not fully understood. Prevention and appropriate therapies for meta...
متن کاملExperience-induced changes in taste identification of monosodium glutamate (MSG) are reversible.
A few studies have reported experience-inducible changes in human taste and olfactory sensitivities. However, no study thus far has systematically characterized the stability of the enhanced sensitivities. In our previous study, we found increases in taste identification ability for monosodium glutamate (MSG) in subjects who had been briefly exposed to MSG in food for 10 days. Here, we tested t...
متن کاملIngestion of monosodium glutamate (MSG) in adult male rats reduces sperm count, testosterone, and disrupts testicular histology
Objective: Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a widely used food additive with controversial side effects. Though neonatal administration of MSG has been shown to affect fertility via arcuate nucleus ablation, the body of work involving the effects of adult MSG administration on male rat fertility has yet to be collectively assessed. Design: Systematic review. Methods: A PubMed search using terms “m...
متن کاملEffects of neonatal treatment with MSG (monosodium glutamate) on hypothalamo-pituitary-thyroid axis in adult male rats.
Neonatal administration of MSG leads to a syndrome of endocrine dysfunction characterised by reduced growth, obesity and hypogonadism. The aim of the present investigation was to gain information on the structure and function of the pituitary-thyroid axis in MSG-treated rats. Neonatal Wistar rats received an s.c. MSG (4 mg/g body weight) or hyperosmotic saline (controls) on days 2, 4, 6, 8 and ...
