Monosodium glutamate (MSG) consumption is associated with urolithiasis and urinary tract obstruction in rats.

<h4>Background</h4>The peritoneal injection of monosodium glutamate (MSG) can induce kidney injury in adult rats but the effects of long-term oral intake have not been determined.<h4>Methods</h4>We investigated the kidney histology and function in adult male Wistar rats that...
