The complex and multifactorial nature of neuropsychiatric diseases demands multi-target drugs that can intervene with various sub-pathologies underlying disease progression. Targeting the impairments in cholinergic glutamatergic neurotransmissions small molecules has been suggested as one potential disease-modifying approaches for Alzheimer’s (AD). Tacrine, a potent inhibitor acetylcholinestera...

When the hypothalamic ventromedial nucleus and arcuate nucleus were destroyed in rats by treatment with monosodium glutamate in the neonatal stage, increase in the Lee index (body weight 1/3/body length) and in retroperitoneal fat as well as decreases in spontaneous motor activity, food consumption and growth hormone secretion function associated with hypothalamic low body length obesity (monos...

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...
