Abstract
Abstract l -Monosodium glutamate ( l -MSG), dl -monosodium glutamate ( dl -MSG) and l -glutamic acid ( l -GA), each at dietary concentrations of 0.1 and 0.4%, were administered from 12 weeks of age to Sprague-Dawley rats for periods of up to 2 years and combined with a multigeneration reproduction test. There were no adverse effects upon clinical signs, motor activity, food consumption, bodyweight gain, haematology, tumour incidence, fertility, survival, organ weights or histopathological findings, compared with control animals receiving a basal Ralston Purina diet.
