Article Abstract
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a widely used food additive with conflicting evidence regarding its potential effects on human health, with proposed relevance for obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) or chronic kidney disease. As being able to accurately quantify the MSG dietary intake would help clarify the open issues, we constructed a predictive formula to estimate the daily intake of MSG in a rat model based on the urinary metabolic profile. Adult male Wistar rats were divided into groups receiving different daily amounts of MSG in drinking water (0.5, 1.5, and 3.0 g%), no MSG, and MSG withdrawal after 3.0% MSG treatment for 4 weeks. We then analyzed 24-hour urine samples for chemistries and metabolites using 1H NMR spectrometry and observed a strong correlation between urine pH, sodium, bicarbonate, alpha-ketoglutarate, citrate, fumarate, glutamate, methylamine, N-methyl-4-pyridone-3-carboxamide, succinate, and taurine and the daily MSG intake. Following the multiple linear regression analysis a simple formula model based on urinary Na+, citrate, and glutamate was most accurate and could be validated for estimating daily MSG intake. In conclusion, we propose that the daily MSG intake correlates with urinary metabolites in a rat model and that this new tool for monitoring the impact of MSG on health measures.

Egg white peptides (EWPs) face significant flavor challenges due to bitterness, limiting their high-value applications. This study prepared egg white glycopeptides (EWGP) through transglutaminase-catalyzed glycosylation to investigate their flavor enhancement effect. Egg white protein was hydrolyzed by neutral protease and covalently bound to glucosamine under the mediation of transglutaminase to obtain EWGP.

The persistent threat of pathogenic microorganisms demands the development of innovative scaffolds with dual antibacterial and antifungal activities. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of a novel series of benzothiazole-thiazole hybrids (4a-4f) a three-step route, confirmed by NMR and MS analyses. The compounds were screened against Gram-positive, Gram-negative, mycobacterial, and fungal strains using disk diffusion and REMA assays.

Objectives: To investigate the therapeutic effect of acupuncture in a rat model of insomnia and its regulatory effect on the glutamic acid (Glu)/γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-glutamine (Gln) metabolic loop.
Methods: Forty male SD rats were randomly assigned to control group, model group, group and group (=10). In the latter 3 groups, rat models of insomnia were established by intraperitoneal injections of p-chlorophenylalanine and verified using a sodium pentobarbital-induced sleep test.

This study investigated the impact of cold water with increasing temperature (CI) and boiling water with constant temperature (BC) steaming on the metabolites and taste of Eriocheir sinensis. Sensory evaluation and electronic tongue analysis indicated that CI group enhanced ovaries umami, whereas BC group increased muscle umami (p < 0.05).

With the widespread adoption of machine learning cloud platforms, concerns over potential privacy risks in model training algorithms have grown. Attackers can exploit these platforms by deploying malicious algorithms to execute correlation value encoding attacks (CVEA). This attack mainly leverages the model's huge capacity for memorization, covertly embedding training data into the model's parameters.
