Glutamic acid sodium salt
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Glutamic acid sodium salt (Monosodium glutamate) is an orally active food flavor enhancer. Glutamic acid sodium salt causes ROS generation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and Apoptosis. Glutamic acid sodium salt upregulates CHOP, Grp78, and Bcl-2. Glutamic acid sodium salt impairs cognition, induces depressive-like behavior, induces hyperalgesia, and induces obesity and insulin resistance. Glutamic acid sodium salt can be used to study neurotoxicity (e.g., brain damage, cognitive impairment), metabolic disorders (e.g., obesity, insulin resistance), hepatotoxicity, and renal toxicity, as well as pain-related disorders.

Monosodium glutamate (20 mM; 12-24 h) induces apoptotic cell death in C6 astrocytic cells by promoting reactive oxygen species generation, glutathione depletion, mitochondrial dysfunction, and endoplasmic reticulum stress[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Result:Up-regulated protein levels of CHOP, Grp78, and Bcl-2.
Monosodium glutamate (4 mg/g b.w.; i.p.) induces liver and kidney damage in Wistar rats[3].
Monosodium glutamate (8 mg/kg; p.o. via drinking water; 1 month) impairs cognitive behavior in male Swiss albino mice, and its combination with Aspartame (HY-B0361) exacerbates neurotransmitter (dopamine, serotonin) reduction and oxidative stress in the forebrain[4].
Monosodium glutamate (100-500 mg/kg; p.o.; daily for 21 days) induces depressive-like behavior, brain oxidative stress, and elevated liver enzymes in male Swiss mice[5].
Monosodium glutamate (300 mg/kg; p.o.; 21 days) reduces pain threshold and increases brain nitric oxide levels in male NMRI mice, inducing hyperalgesia[6].
Monosodium glutamate (4 g/kg b.w.; s.c.; once daily for 7 consecutive days) induces obesity and insulin resistance in female ICR mice[7].
Monosodium glutamate (0.5%-5% in diet or oral gavage) does not affect pulmonary inflammation, Th2 cytokine production, IgE levels, or airway hyperresponsiveness in Ovalbumin-induced asthmatic BALB/c mice[8].
