Dose respond effect on spatial memory and somatosensory after acute and chronic of monosodium glutamate exposure in adults rats / Muhammad Zulhafiz Zulkupli
In order to explore the dose respond effect on spatial memory and somatosensory after acute and chronic exposure of Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), adult rats were administered intraperitoneally with MSG for 21 days with dose 2.0 mg/g, 4.0 mg/g and 8.0 mg/g per body weight. Normal saline was administere...
