Int. j. morphol; 40 (3), 2022

SUMMARY: An association between certain food additives and chronic diseases is reported. Current study determined whether administering toxic doses of the food additive monosodium glutamate (MSG) into rats can induce aortopathy in association with the oxidative stress and inflammatory biomarkers upregula...

Types I and III parotid collagen variations and serum biochemical parameters in obese rats exposed to monosodium glutamate

Roa, Ignacio; del Sol, Mariano.

Int. j. morphol; 38 (3), 2020

SUMMARY: The objective of this study was to describe the effects of monosodium glutamate on the collagen of the parotid gland in an obesity model. 18 newborn male Sprague Dawley rats were used (first control group; second group of MSG1: 4 mg/g of monosodium glutamate weight, 5 doses, and third group of M...

Eid, Refaat A; Dallak, Mohammad; Al-Shraim, Mubarak; Ellatif, Mohamed Abd; Al-Ani, Rihab; Kamar, Samaa S; Negm, Sally; Haidara, Mohamed A.

Int. j. morphol; 37 (4), 2019

Food additives and flavour enhancers used in the food industry are potential health risks. We tested the hypothesis that the food additive and flavour enhancer, monosodium glutamate (MSG), which is the sodium salt of glutamic acid can induce ultrastructural alterations to the kidney, and the antioxidant ...
