TLDR
Study showed significant changes in weight and volume of kidneys in gross morphology of albino mice after neonatal exposure with MSG, and increased urinary space and dilatation of proximal convoluted tubule and distal convoluted tubules were constant finding in experimental animals.Abstract:
Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is a commonly used food additive. Scientists have found that MSG has toxic effects in several tissues and organs like neurons, liver, testes, ovary, kidneys etc due to oxidative stress both after exposure in neonatal period as well as in adult animal models. Although various reports have suggested that MSG has damaging effect in kidneys only few histological studies are available. This study was done to observe any histological changes in kidneys of albino mice after neonatal exposure with MSG. Study showed significant changes in weight and volume of kidneys in gross morphology. Increased urinary space and dilatation of proximal convoluted tubules (PCT) and distal convoluted tubules (DCT) were constant finding in experimental animals. There were loss of luminal microvilli and reduced height of lining cells of both PCT and DCT.read more

Evaluation of ameliorating role of avocado Persea americana fruit extract against monosodium glutamate-induced toxicity in pregnant female albino rats and their offspring
TL;DR: In this paper , the potential ameliorative role of avocado fruit extract against MSG-induced nephrotoxicity in pregnant rats and their offspring was evaluated, and the immunohistochemical results revealed strong PCNA and Bax expression in the renal tissues of MSG-exposed mother rats and offspring if compared with the control.
