Siberian hamsters (Phodopus sungorus) have the ability to express daily torpor and decrease their body temperature to approximately 15 degrees C, providing a significant savings in energy expenditure. Daily torpor in hamsters is cued by winterlike photoperiods and occurs coincident with the annual nadirs in body fat reserves and chronic leptin concentrations. To better understand the neural mec...

The expression of canonical chemosensory receptors the tongue, such as heteromeric sweet taste (TAS1R2/TAS1R3) and umami (TAS1R1/TAS1R3) receptors, has been demonstrated in many extra-oral cells tissues. Gene studies have revealed transcripts for all TAS1 metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) different types immune cells, where they are involved, example, chemotaxis human neutrophils protection T from ...

OBJECTIVE To study two different models of obesity, exocrine and endocrine, and its association on tail arterial pressure (TAP), body weight (BW), glucose metabolism and visceral fat content. METHODS Male Wistar rats were studied. The MSG group was composed by rats that received of MSG in neonatal period. At the 3rd month of life, part of these animals received cafeteria diet. Animals receive...

This paper presents effective design of ternary ALU using Carbon Nano tube Field effect transistor (CNTFET) atv32 nm technology. Ternary logic is possible substitutes to traditional binary logic, because more number operation can performed using ternary logic as compare to binary logic due to this possible to achieve simplicity and energy efficient inrecent digital logic design due to reduced c...

signed using 3 identical CNTFET, while resistors represent parasitic elements. The further fourth NOT gate has been used only to load the third stage. We have simulated the circuit driven by a 14ps clock, also in this case the CNT quantum inductance is negligible since the magnitude of the inductive reactance is much smaller than the resistances RD, RS. In the above simulations quantum capacita...

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...

Previous studies suggest that the chorda tympani nerve (CT) is important in transmitting fat taste information to the central nervous system. However, the contribution of the CT in this process may depend upon the presence of other taste stimuli and/or differ in males and females. Accordingly, the present study investigated the role of the CT in free fatty acid taste processing by examining ele...

The parasympathetic nervous system is important for β-cell secretion and mass regulation. Here, we characterized involvement of the vagus nerve in pancreatic β-cell morphofunctional regulation and body nutrient homeostasis in 90-day-old monosodium glutamate (MSG)-obese rats. Male newborn Wistar rats received MSG (4 g/kg body weight) or saline [control (CTL) group] during the first 5 days of lif...

L-Glutamic acid (L-GA), a seaweed ingredient, identified in 1908 by Japanese scientists responsible for enhancing flavor for food is now best known scientifically as monosodium glutamate (MSG). The sodium salt of glutamic acid (GA) is called as MSG. The other names include – S-(+)-GA, L-GA, 2aminoglutaric acid, and an anionic form of MSG at physiological pH known as glutamate. MSG, a derivative...

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) has a multifaceted, unusual taste to humans. Rats and other rodents also detect a complex taste to MSG. Responses of the chorda tympani nerve (CT) to glutamate applied to the front of the tongue were recorded in 13 anesthetized rats. Whole-nerve responses to 30 mM, 100 mM and 300 mM MSG mixed with 300 mM sucrose were recorded before and after adding 30 micro M amilori...
