"Monosodium glutamat (MSG) merupakan penyedap rasa makanan yang sangat sering digunakan. Beberapa penelitian menunjukkan bahwa MSG dalam dosis tinggi dapat bersifat neurotoksik/eksitotoksik bagi sel saraf di sistem saraf pusat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh MSG terhadap pembentukan memori khususnya memori spasial dan pengaruh MSG terhadap selsel saraf di hipokampus mengingat area ini sangat berperan dalam proses pembentukan memori. Subjek penelitian adalah 25 ekor tikus putih jantan galur Sprague Dawley (berusia 8-10 minggu, berat 150-200 gr) yang dibagi menjadi 5 kelompok (dua kelompok kontrol dan tiga kelompok perlakuan masing-masing mendapat MSG sebanyak 2 mg/gr, 4 mg/gr dan 6 mg/gr yang diberikan secara oral selama 30 hari). Uji memori spasial dilakukan dengan menggunakan water-E maze, sebelum pemberian MSG dimulai dan setiap minggu hingga minggu ke-4 (dilakukan 5x pengujian). Setelah hari terakhir pemberian MSG, seluruh hewan coba dikorbankan. Jaringan otak diambil dengan hati-hati, segera difiksasi dalam cairan formalin untuk selanjutnya diwarnai dengan pewarnaan HE. Data hasil penelitian dianalisis dengan one way ANOVA dan dilanjutkan dengan uji Post Hoc. Hasil uji memori dengan perangkat water-E maze menunjukkan adanya peningkatan jumlah kesalahan yang dilakukan oleh kelompok perlakuan dosis 4 mg/gr dan 6 mg/gr serta peningkatan durasi waktu yang dibutuhkan oleh semua kelompok perlakuan untuk menyelesaikan uji memori yang signifikan dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol setelah pemakaian MSG selama 30 hari. Gambaran histologi hipokampus menunjukkan peningkatan persentase kerusakan sel saraf di hipokampus pada seluruh kelompok perlakuan yang signifikan dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol. Penggunaan MSG dalam dosis tinggi seperti yang digunakan pada penelitian ini menyebabkan terjadinya kerusakan sel saraf di hipokampus tikus dan menurunkan fungsi pembentukan memori spasial.

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is commonly used as a flavor enhancer in modern nutrition. Recent studies have shown that high dose of MSG was neurotoxic/excitotoxic to neuronal cells in Central Nervous System. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of MSG on spatial memory formation and neuronal cells in hippocampus which play the role in forming memory. Twenty five male albino Sprague Dawley rats (age: 8-10 weeks, weight: 150-200 gr) were divided into five groups (two control groups and three treated groups with varying doses of MSG: 2mg/gr, 4 mg/gr and 6 mg/gr respectively received MSG dissolved in normal saline by oral gavage for a period of 30 days). To measure the spatial memory, the animals were exposed to the water-E maze before treatment and every week until the 4th week (5 times measurement). The rats were sacrified after the last day of MSG treatment. The brain was carefully dissected out and quickly fixed in 10% buffered formaldehyde and then stained with HE staining. Result were analyzed by one way ANOVA followed by a Post Hoc test. Water-E maze performance showed a significant increase in the number of errors in the 4 mg/gr and 6 mg/gr MSG treated groups and increase duration time to finish the spatial memory task in all treated groups compared to control groups after 30 days of MSG treatment. Histological structure of hippocampal showed significant increase in the percentage of neuronal cells damage. The study conclude that high dose of MSG at the doses administered was damaged neuronal cells in the rat's hippocampus and impaired the spatial memory formation."

"Monosodium glutamat (MSG) adalah garam natrium glutamat yang merupakan asam amino nonessensial yang dapat bersifat eksitotoksik. Terdapat dugaan bahwa glutamat berpotensi menyebabkan peningkatan stres oksidatif di hati dengan mekanisme yang sama dengan eksitotoksisitas karena reseptor glutamat juga ditemukan di hati. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh MSG terhadap peningkatan stres oksidatif pada hati tikus (Rattus norvegicus) jantan. Parameter yang diukur adalah kadar MDA, GSH, dan aktivitas spesifik katalase sebagai penanda adanya stres oksidatif. Sebanyak 27 ekor tikus putih (Rattus norvegicus) jantan dibagi dalam 3 kelompok: kelompok kontrol (diberi akuades), kelompok P1A (diberi MSG 4g/KgBB), dan kelompok P2A (diberi MSG 6g/KgBB). Perlakuan diberikan melalui sonde selama 30 hari. Pengambilan sampel hati dilakukan pada hari ke-31. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat peningkatan kadar MDA pada kelompok perlakuan yang berbeda bermakna dengan kelompok kontrol, p≤0,05, tetapi pada kadar GSH terjadi penurunan yang tidak berbeda bermakna dibandingkan kelompok kontrol, (p≥0,05). Aktivitas spesifik katalase, juga terjadi penurunan yang tidak berbeda bermakna dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol, p≥0,05. Penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa pemberian MSG dengan dosis 4g/KgBB dan 6g/KgBB selama 30 hari menyebabkan terjadinya peningkatan stres oksidatif pada hati tikus (Rattus norvegicus) jantan yang ditunjukkan dengan peningkatan kadar MDA.

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is the sodium salt of glutamate which is a nonessential amino acid that may cause exicytotoxicity. There are allegations that glutamate could potentially increase an oxidative stress in the rat's liver by the same mechanism with exicytotoxicity because of glutamate receptors are also found in the liver.

This study aims to determine the effect of MSG on oxidative stress in the rat's liver. The level of MDA and GSH were measured as the marker of oxidative stress, and also specific activity of catalase. 27 albino rat's (Rattus norvegicus) were divided into 3 groups: control group (distilled water), and 2 treatment groups, P1A (treated with MSG 4g / KgBW), and P2A (treated with MSG 6g / KgBW). The treatment was carried out for 30 days. On day 31 the liver were collected after euthanasia of the rats.

The results showed there were increased levels of MDA in the treatment groups compare to control significantly, p≤0,05, but the decreased of GSH levels were not significantly different than the control group, (p≥0,05). The specific activity of catalase, also a decreasing but not significantly different compared to control group, p≥0,05.

This study showed that the administration of MSG with a dose of 4g / KgBW and 6g / KgBW for 30 days led to an increased in oxidative stress on the liver of rats (Rattus norvegicus) which is indicated by elevated levels of MDA."

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is the sodium salt which is can be excitotoxic. Glutamate could potentially cause oxidative damage in the liver by excitotoxicity because glutamate receptors are also found in the liver. This study aims to investigate the oxidative damage recovery rat liver after administration of MSG is stopped. A total of 30 adult male rats (Rattus norvegicus) were divided into 3 groups: control (distilled water), MSG 4 g / kg and the last group MSG 6 g / kg. The treatment is given through a sonde for 30 days. Each group was further divided into two by sacrivised time as follow, day 45, and day 59. The liver was taken for measurement of MDA, GSH levels and the specific activity of catalase. MDA levels although not significantly different in all groups but tend to decline. Different levels of GSH increased significantly (p = 0.017) during recovery, the specific activity of catalase were decline (p=0.012). There was no correlation between MDA, GSH, and specific activity of catalase in the liver after cessation of MSG. This study shows that cessation administration of that certain doses of MSG can lead to decreased levels of MDA, GSH levels, and a decrease in the specific activity of catalase rat liver tissue. This indicates that there was a recovery process of oxidative damage as a result of the cessation of administration of MSG."

"Latar Belakang : Monosodium glutamat (MSG) mengandung glutamat yang apabila terakumulasi akan mengakibatkan kerusakan berbagai sel dan organ, salah satunya adalah sel Leydig. Sel Leydig memiliki kemampuan regenerasi setelahmengalami kerusakan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui kemampuan regenerasi sel Leydig tikus dewasa yang rusak akibat pajanan MSG.Metode : Penelitian ini menggunakan 27 ekor tikus putih jantan strain Sprague Dawley usia 10-12 minggu yang dibagi menjadi 9 kelompok. Kelompok kontrol (K) diberikan aquadest 1,5 ml, kelompok PI diberikan MSG 4g/kgBB, dan kelompok PII diberikan MSG 6g/kgBB. Perlakuan diberikan secara oral selama 30 hari. Dari masing-masing perlakuan akan dibagi menjadi kelompok yangdimatikan 1 hari, 14 hari, dan 28 hari pasca perlakuan terakhir dihentikan. Testis kanan dan hipofisis dibuat sajian histologi menggunakan pewarnaan HE dan PAS.

Background : Monosodium glutamate (MSG) contains glutamate which if accumulated will result in damage to various cells and organs, one of which in the Leydig cells. Leydig cells had the ability to regenerate after damage. This study aims to investigate the Leydig cells regeneration of adult male rats after cessation

of MSG exposure. Methods: This study was performed on twenty-seven Sprague Dawley male rats (10-12 weeks old). They were divided into 9 groups. Control group (K) was given aquadest 1,5ml/day and two treated groups (PI and PII ) were given MSG 4g/kgBB and 6 g/kgBB. Treatment was given orally during 30 days. Each group

was then divided into three groups that were sacrificed 1 day, 14 days and 28 days after the last treatment. Histological preparations of the right testes and pituitary was studied using HE and PAS staining, respectively. The number of Leydig and oval nucleated cells of the seminiferous tubules interstitial as well as basophil cells of adenohypophysis were observed.

Result : Monosodium glutamate exposure caused a dose-dependent decrease in the number of Leydig cells and an increase in the number of oval nucleated cells. It was suggested that the oval nucleated cells were leydig progenitor cells.

Monosodium glutamate exposure also caused a decrease in the number of basophil cells of adenohypophysis. After cessation of MSG for 14 and 28 day, there was an increase in the number of Leydig cells, a decrease in the number of

oval nucleated cells and an increase the number of basophil cells.

Conclusion : Leydig cells had the ability to regenerate and the regeneration took place between 14 and 28 days after cessation of MSG exposure."

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is the sodium salt of glutamate which is a nonessential amino acid, that may cause excitotoxicity. Since glutamate receptors were also found in the kidney, it is suggested that glutamate can cause kidney damage by a mechanism similar to excitotoxicity. The aim of this study was to determine the renal histological and functional changes in adult male rats after exposure of MSG and after termination of exposure. A total of 27 adult male albino rats (Rattus norvegicus) were divided into 3 groups: 1 control group (given distilled water), 2 treatment groups (given 4 g/kg MSG or 6 g/kg MSG).

Treatment was given for 30 days by oral gavage. Each group was then devided into 3 smaller groups based on the day of sacrifice (31st, 45th, and 59th day). Urea and creatinine levels, as well as the kidney histological changes were examined in all groups. Rats in the group treated with 6 g/kg MSG sacrificed on day-31 and day-45 showed glomerular and tubular edema, with less extensive damage observed in the group that was sacrificed on day-45 (p=0.046). Blood urea and creatinine levels did not differ between groups sacrificed on the same day. Our results revealed that administration of 6 g/kg MSG caused kidney damage which recovered after 2-4 weeks of cessation, but did not cause any alteration in renal function."

ABSTRACT

Background: Good Nutrition intake is the most important factor that determines the health status of our next generation. However the Basic Health Research (Riset Kesehatan Dasar / Riskesdas) conducted by the Indonesian Ministry of Health in 2010 reported that 17.9 percent (17.9%) of the children in Indonesia with the age under 5 years old had the problem of malnutrition and 14 percent (14%) among them had the problem of obesity. Daily food was suggested to become a cause of malnutrition problem especially the use of Monosodium L-glutamate (MSG) which is widely used as food additive and a substance to stimulate the appetite. There are some questions about the correlation of MSG consumption and weight gain and the correlation of neurotoxicity effect of MSG with the damage of neuronal cells in the brain. Another question is whether the damage of neuronal cells in the brain is persistent or not. This study was conducted to determine the effects of MSG in the weight gain and in the development of the brain in the rat pups with age of 7 and 14 days in which their mother were given the MSG during pregnancy. The rat pups were also observed for their behavior.

Methods: The experimental design was in vivo studies with randomized sampling. Subjects were 25 female rats (Rattus novergicus)of Sprague-Dawley strain which are divided into 5 groups (control group, solvent group and 3 MSG treatment groups during gestation given MSG in the dose of 1200mg/kgbw/day, 2400mg/kgbw/day and 4800mg/kgbw/day). Upon giving birth the pups were observed until the ages of 7 and 14 days. Two pups from each mother rat were taken randomly. The brain of the rat pups were isolated and stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Photomicrographs of the histological slides were taken by optilab and were analyzed with Image Raster program. The parameters that were analyzed in this experiment were weight body loss, the damage of neuronal cells in the arcuate nucleus and paraventricular area of hypothalamus and the behavior of the pups at age of 7 and 14 days.

Results: High dose MSG penetrate the placental blood barrier and the blood brain barrier in the brain of rat pups with the age of 7 14 days when their mothers were administered with MSG during their pregnant. The body weights of pups with age of 7 days were lower in the MSG treated group with the dose of 4800mg than that in the control and solvent groups. However body weigh were higher in the MSG treated groups of 1200mg/kgbw/day and 2400mg/kgbw/day than those in the control and solvent groups. In the 14 days pups, the body weight were higher significantly in the MSG treated groups with the dose of 4800mg/kgbw/day compared to the 1200mg/kgbw/day and 2400mg/kgbw/day. The weight of the brain was slightly lower at the age of 7 and 14 days in the 4800mg MSG treated group. The neuronal cell damage in the arcuate nucleus and in the paraventricular area of hypothalamus was significantly higher in the 4800mg MSG treated group. The behavior changes were observed in the pups with the 4800mg MSG treated group at the age of 7 and 14 days.

Conclusion: Intake of MSG during gestation causes changes in body weight, brain weight and damage of neuronal cells in the arcuate and paraventricular area of hypothalamus in rat pups of the age of 7 and 14."

"Organoclay Jambi merupakan hasil modifikasi montmorillonite (MMT) dengan interkalasi kation organik agar dapat menjadi organofilik. Sebelum digunakan untuk preparasi, proses yang pertama adalah fraksinasi terhadap bentonit Jambi untuk memurnikan montmorillonite (MMT) yang ada pada bentonit. Hasil MMT kemudian diseragamkan kation penyeimbangnya dengan Na+ menjadi Na-MMT. Selanjutnya menggunakan [Cu(en)2]2+, dihitung nilai Kapasitas Tukar Kation (KTK). Preparasi organoclay menggunakan Na-MMT dengan Monosodium Glutamat (MSG) sebagai agen penginterkalasi dan konsentrasi MSG yang ditambahkan sesuai dengan nilai 1 KTK dan 2 KTK. Hasil karakterisasi organoclay menunjukkan MSG telah berhasil terinterkalasi ke dalam MMT. Produk organoclay tersebut selanjutnya diuji kemampuan adsorpsinya terhadap kadmium dan timbal dengan variasi waktu, variasi konsentrasi dan variasi pH. Kemudian membandingkannya dengan kemampuan adsorpsi dari bentonit alam dengan konsentrasi kadmium dan timbal yang sama. Dari data yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa organoclay lebih efektif dari bentonit alam dalam menyerap kadmium dan timbal.
