Peer Review #1 of "Evaluation of the effects of the green nanoparticles zinc oxide on monosodium glutamate-induced toxicity in the brain of rats (v0.2)"
Abstract:Background: Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is used extensively as a food additive in the diets of many countries around the world. Aim of the study was to determine the effects of green zinc oxide nanoparticles on MSG-induced oxidative damage, neurotransmitter changes, and histopathological alternation in the cerebral cortexes of rats. Methods: MSG was administered orally at two doses of 6 and 17.5 mg/kg body weight. The higher dose was associated with a significant decline in the activities of superoxide dismutas… Show more
