Analysis Tolerance of Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) In instant noodles With Uv-Vis Spectrophotometry

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...

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) Consumption Is Associated with Urolithiasis and Urinary Tract Obstruction in Rats

BACKGROUND The peritoneal injection of monosodium glutamate (MSG) can induce kidney injury in adult rats but the effects of long-term oral intake have not been determined. METHODS We investigated the kidney histology and function in adult male Wistar rats that were fed ad libitum with a standard rat chow pellet and water with or without the addition of 2 mg/g body weight MSG/day in drinking w...

Experience-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...

Effect of Garlic Extracts on Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) Induced Fibroid in Wistar Rats

Effect of garlic extracts on MSG induced fibroid in wistar rats was studied. Fifteen rats were randomly assigned into three study groups. The animals in Group 1(the control) received a placebo of 5.0ml distilled water via gastric intubation. The animals in the Groups 2 and 3 were treated with 100mg MSG/kg, or a combination of 100mg MSG/kg + 100mg garlic/kg respectively, in a total volume of 5.0...
