Angina in the presence of intact coronary arteries remains a relatively frequent clinical issue. It is now well understood that an impairedcapacity to modulate coronary vascular resistances upon exercise (i.e. an impaired coronary flow reserve) may lead to ischemia and angina.We describe a case of coronary slow flow, i.e. a condition in which resting (micro) vascular resistances are ina...

The objective of this study was to assess the effect of monosodium glutamate (MSG) on broiler performance, blood chemistry and the brain tissues. A total of 120 day-old Lohman broiler chicks were randomly divided into four groups, with 3 replicates (30 birds per treatment). Four approximately isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets with different levels of MSG viz . 0, 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0% were formu...

OBJECTIVES Emerging evidence shows that diet is related to asthma. The aim of this analysis was to investigate the association between monosodium glutamate (MSG) intake, overall dietary patterns and asthma. METHODS Data from 1486 Chinese men and women who participated in the Jiangsu Nutrition Study (JIN) were analyzed. In this study, MSG intake and dietary patterns were quantitatively assesse...

Bioactive compound from local resources such as anthocyanin has a high potential to develop biosensor for nitrite detection. As biosensor, this shows instability certain environmental conditions. To overcome this, bioactive may need encapsulate. The aim of work is encapsulate in the CMC-PVA matrix improve its stability paper strip sodium result that encapsulated by CMC/PVA well formed. Encapsul...

Several studies indicate an essential role of the heterodimer Tas1R1-Tas1R3 for monosodium l-glutamate (MSG) detection, although others suggest alternative receptors. Human subjects show different taste sensitivities to MSG, and some are unable to detect the presence of glutamate. Our objective was to study possible relations between phenotype (sensitivity to glutamate) and genotype (polymorphi...

Previous behavioral studies have suggested that l-glutamate, an umami substance, is detected in the gut, and that this information regarding glutamate is conveyed from the gut to the amygdala and the lateral hypothalamus (LH) through the vagus nerve to establish glutamate preference. In this study, we investigated the roles of the amygdala and LH in the information processing of gut glutamate. ...

BACKGROUND Excessive dietary sodium intake causes several diseases, such as hypertension, cardiovascular and renal disease, etc. Hence, reducing sodium intake has been highly recommended. In this study the effect of monosodium glutamate (MSG), as an umami substance, on saltiness and sodium reduction was investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS The trained panellists were presented with basic spicy s...

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of and associated factors for overweight, especially to determine the relationship between the intake of monosodium glutamate (MSG) as a seasoning and overweight in Vietnam. DESIGN A cross-sectional survey was conducted of Vietnamese adults aged ≥20 years in 2008. Dietary intake was assessed by the 24 h recall method for 3 d. MSG intake was evaluated by t...
