Abstract
Background: Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a commercial food improver and is widely marketed as a flavor enhancer. It is now utilized in many processed foods and by most fast-food chains. Honey is a potent antioxidant that acts in the body against many diseases. Objective: The aim of the current study is to investigate honey's ameliorative effect on kidney damage initiated by monosodium glutamate in adult male rats. Moreover, different polyphenolic compounds in the crude honey were evaluated. Material and methods: Forty adult male albino rats were equally divided into four groups (N=6): The Control group was administered 1 mL of saline daily orally, the MSG group (30 g/kg on diet), the Honey group (2.5 g/kg body weight/day, orally) and Honey/MSG group as the previous for one month. Results: Urea, creatinine, and uric acid were significantly increased in the MSG group and decreased in the honey/MSG group compared to the control group. MSG markedly destructed glomeruli of the kidney and increased the immunoexpressing of nuclear erythroid-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a). Conclusions: Administration of crude honey attenuates and improves the kidney pathological changes induced by MSG.
