The effects of oral administration of monosodium glutamate (msg) on the testicular morphology and cauda epididymal sperm reserves of young and adult male rats.

The article presents a study that investigated the effects of monosodium glutamate on the testes and cauda epididymal sperm reserves of both young and adult male rats. The study involved two experiments, with Experiment I comprising 28 young male Sprague-Dawley rats, while Experiment II comprising 28 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats. The results suggest that monosodium glutamate may have adversely affected spermatogenesis by disrupting the hypothalamic-pituitary-testis regulatory axis.
