Abstract
Summary
Monosodium glutamate and monosodium aspartate were injected subcutaneously in newborn and weanling mice. The brains and livers were excised and GDH, GOT, and GPT levels were measured. Monosodium glutamate or monosodium aspartate administration resulted in 2-3-fold increases in activities in both the brains and livers of newborn mice. However, the injection of either monosodium glutamate or monosodium aspartate, resulted in no significant effect on the enzymes measured in the brains and livers of weanling mice.
