This research determined the effect of monosodium glutamate (MSG) on selected tissue lipids and haematological indices of neonatal and adult Wistar rats. Pups were administered 4 mg/kg MSG on postnatal days 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, raised for 32 weeks, and afterwards divided into 3 groups (n = 7) and administered saline, 5 and 10 mg/kg body weight of MSG, respectively, for 6 weeks. Two other groups, not exposed to MSG at neonatal age, were similarly administered 5 and 10 mg/kg body weight of MSG, res

The growth of population and industrialization has resulted in environmental contamination by organic pollutants, which are less soluble in water. Among these, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) occupy a major group, produced from incomplete combustion of petroleum, coal, oil, and wood. These are widely distributed in soil, sediments, water, and air. PAH exposure causes adverse health problems in humans and mammals such as carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic effects. PAHs are hydrophob
