BACKGROUND Recent evidence suggests that the effects of certain food additives may be synergistic or additive. Aspartame (ASP) and Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) are ubiquitous food additives with a common moiety: both contain acidic amino acids which can act as neurotransmitters, interacting with NMDA receptors concentrated in areas of the Central Nervous System regulating energy expenditure and c...

Monosodium glutamate (MSG), the sodium salt of glutamate, is commonly used as a flavor enhancer in modern nutrition. Recent studies have shown the existence of glutamate receptors on lymphocytes, thymocytes and thymic stromal cells. In this study, we evaluated the in vitro effect of different MSG concentrations on rat thymocyte apoptosis and expression of two apoptosis-related proteins, Bcl-2 a...

The effect of monosodium glutamate (MSG) supplementation in soup or broth on satiety is not well understood. In the present study, the relative effects of four chicken broths with or without added MSG on motivational ratings and energy intakes at the next meal were compared using a double-blinded, within-subject design. A total of thirty-five normal-weight women, aged 20-40 years, took part in ...

We compared the effects of hypothalamic obesity induced by neonatal monosodium glutamate (MSG) treatment between spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY). Newborn WKY and SHR were injected intraperitoneally with 4 mg/kg body weight of MSG daily for 5 days. At 6 months of age, the obesity of SHR was more advanced than that of WKY, but at 14 months of age the...

The genome of Pneumocystis, which causes life-threatening pneumonia in immunosuppressed patients, contains a multicopy gene family that encodes the major surface glycoprotein (Msg). Pneumocystis can vary the expressed Msg, presumably as a mechanism to avoid host immune responses. Analysis of 24 msg-gene sequences obtained from a single human isolate of Pneumocystis demonstrated that the sequenc...

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) administered postnatally to the albino rat causes extensive destruction of the retina. This MSG effect does not result in complete blindness. Ganglion cells surviving the MSG treatment are healthy and functional. Using retrogradely transported HRP and Nissl staining in whole mounted retinas, it was found that the ganglion cells left after MSG treatment are not smaller...

The prototypic umami substance monosodium glutamate (MSG) reinforces preferences for its own flavor, as well as preferences for flavors associated with it, by conditioning processes. Mice of 3 inbred strains (C57BL/6J (B6), 129P3/J, and FVB/NJ) and 2 taste-knockout (KO) groups derived from the B6 lineage were initially indifferent to 200mM MSG, but this evaluation was altered by forced exposure...

The main goal of this article is to implement the MSG-3 process in structure field for an SSI component of b747 aircraft. This process is expected toincrease the ease of aircraft maintenance and its safety level. MSG-3 logic took a top-down or consequence of failure approachmeaning that MSG-3 reduces the maintenance cost and upgrades safety. Moreover, it cansignificantly help saving thetime and...

The Field Effect Transistor using nanotechnology is known as Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistors (CNTFET). Which promising nano-scaled devices for implementing high performance very dense and low power circuits. A Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor refers to a FET with a single CNT or an array of CNT's as the channel material instead of bulk silicon in the traditional MOSFET structure...

In the world of Integrated Circuits, Complementary Metal–Oxide– Semiconductor (CMOS) has lost its credentiality during scaling beyond 32nm. Scaling causes severe Short Channel Effects (SCE) which are difficult to suppress. As a result of such SCE many alternate devices have been studied. Some of the major contestants include Multi Gate Field Effect Transistor (MuGFET) like FinFET and Carbon Nan...
