The authors concluded that total intake of MSG in Europe lies within the considered safe range of consumption, and a formal recommendation is suggested to be included in the ‘Instruction for Authors’ regarding competing interests, to be shown in the published manuscript.
Monosodium Glutamate: Review on Preclinical and Clinical Reports
- Biology, MedicineBiointerface Research in Applied Chemistry
- 2022
Preclinical studies showed that MSG administration was associated with obesity, cardiotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, kidney toxicity, neurotoxicity, anemia, spleen toxicity, lipid and glucose metabolism alteration, negative effects of fertility, coagulant system, and microbiota, however, clinical studies have focused mostly on MSG effects on appetite and energy expenditure.

A 3-generation reproductive toxicity study in mice that includes extensive brain histopathology, provides a better point of departure showing no effects up to the highest dose tested of 6,000 mg/kg bw/day, and there is no compelling evidence to indicate that the previous ADI of “not specified” warrants any change.
