Copper leaching from wastes electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) using alkaline monosodium glutamate: Thermodynamics and dissolution tests

SummaryTc-99m pyridoxylidene glutamate has proven to be an excellent biliary scanning agent, far superior in many respect to the commonly used 1-131 rose bengal. The preparation of the compound as previously reported by Baker et al is too time consuming and requires the use of an autoclave which is not available in most nuclear medicine departments. In our facility, we have been preparing similar compounds using several aldehydes and monosodium glutamate to make labeled complexes having the same pharmacological characteristics. The mixture of monosodium glutamate, aldehyde, and Tc-99m pertechnetate is made slightly alkaline, purged with helium, and placed in a sealed vial. The vial, which is protected by a wire basket, is then heated in a laboratory oven at 130° C for a period of 15 to 20 minutes. During this time, the technetium is reduced to a lower valence state and bound to the complex formed. Chromatographic data show that these compounds are chemically similar to that previously reported. The compounds prepared concentrate in the gall bladder of the rabbit in less than 10 minutes. Kinetic studies have been performed on dogs with a scintillation camera and small digital computer to measure rates of blood clearance, liver and gall bladder uptake, and excretion into the intestine. The aldehyde — glutamate complex promises to be a useful scanning agent for the diagnosis of biliary and hepatocellular diseases.

Background : flavor enhancing food additives are often added as a flavor enhancer known as MSG that exceed the dose . if the addition of the additive is often done to cause dependence , so it will pose a health hazard to the consumer , such as stomach disorders, allergies , hypertension , asthma , cancer , diabetes , and lower intelligence. Most housewives do not know the information would adversely affect health. Objective : This study aims to describe the level of knowledge of the use of monosodium glutamate ( MSG ) housewife in backwoods village sauleya timbuseng Polongbangkeng northern districts Kab.Takalar. Methods : This is a descriptive study. samples are all housewives in the hamlet village sauleya timbuseng Polongbangkeng northern districts Kab. Takalar , who meet the criteria as much as 49 people . Data on the use MSG knowledge samples obtained by the interview method which uses a questionnaire instrument.the data presented in the from of frequency distribution graphic and narrative. Result : Results of research on the use of knowledge MSG housewives generally less category as many as 25 ( 51.0 % ) , use of MSG housewives generally can not be tolerated as many as 36 ( 73.5 % ). Conclusion : Knowledge of the use of MSG housewife classified as less and use MSG can not be tolerated.

Melatonin Production

The pineal gland synthesizes melatonin exclusively at night, which gives melatonin the characteristic of a temporal synchronizer of the physiological systems. Melatonin is a regulator of insulin activities centrally and also peripherally and its synthesis is reduced in diabetes. Since monosodium glutamate (MSG) is often used to induce the type 2 diabetic and metabolic syndrome in animal models, the purpose of this work is to evaluate the potential effects of MSG given to neonates on the pineal melatonin synthesis in different aged male and female rats. Wistar rats were subcutaneously injected with MSG (4mg/g/day) or saline solution (0.9%) from the second to eighth post-natal day. The circadian profiles both melatonin levels and AANAT activity were monitored at different ages. Body weight, naso-anal length, adipose tissues weight, GTT, ITT and serum insulin levels were also evaluated. Typical obesity with the neonatal MSG treatment was observed, indicated by a great increase in adipose depots without a concurrent increase in body weight. MSG treatment did not cause hyperglycemia or glucose intolerance, but induced insulin resistance. An increase of melatonin synthesis at ZT 15 with phase advance was observed in in some animals. The AANAT activity was positively parallel to the melatonin circadian profile. It seems that MSG causes hypothalamic obesity which may increase AANAT activity and melatonin production in pineal gland. These effects were not temporally correlated with insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia indicating the hypothalamic lesions, particularly in arcuate nucleus induced by MSG in early age, as the principal cause of the increase in melatonin production.
