  • Title: Monosodium glutamate admlinistration to the newborn reduces reproductive ability in female and male mice.
    Author: Pizzi WJ, Barnhart JE, Fanslow DJ.
    Journal: Science; 1977 Apr 22; 196(4288):452-4. PubMed ID: 557837.
    Abstract:
    Monosodium glutamate (MSG) administered during the neonatal period (days 2 to 11) resulted in a sequence of events that were manifested in adulthood. Reproductive dysfunction was seen in both female and male animals. Females treated with MSG had fewer pregnancies and smaller litters, while males treated with MSG showed reduced fertility. The MSG-treated mice showed increased body weight and decreased pituitary, thyroid, ovary, or testis weights.
