The umami seasoning, monosodium l-glutamate (MSG), has been shown to increase satiety in normal body weight adults, although the results have not been consistent. The satiety effect of MSG in overweight and obese adults has not been examined yet. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of MSG in a vegetable soup on subseque...
Monosodium L-glutamate (MSG) and inosine monophosphate-5 (IMP) are flavor enhancers for umami taste. However, their effects on appetite and food intake are not well-researched. The objective of the current study was to test their additions in a broth preload on subsequent appetite ratings, energy intake and food choice. Eighty-six healthy middle- a...

食塩の過剰摂取は血圧上昇の一因であり, 脳卒中や心臓疾患の原因と考えられている。近年, これら疾病の予防や病態の改善を目的とする減塩食の必要性が高まっているが, 料理中の食塩を減らすと味がもの足りなくなり, 病院給食では入院患者の摂食量低下による栄養摂取量の不足が問題となる。我々は, ナトリウム (Na) を含まないうま味物質であるグルタミン酸マグネシウム (MDG) を用い, おいしさを維持した減塩料理の提供を試みた。通常の病院給食として供食している通常料理, Na量を減らした減塩料理とMDGを用いたうま味添加減塩料理の3通りの料理についての官能特性を比較した。その結果, 減塩料理は通常料理に比べて全ての項目で低値を示し, うま味添加減塩料理では顕著に改善した。この結果から, 通常料理を減...
There are few reports on the physiological effects of metal nanoparticles (nps), especially with respect to their functions as scavengers for superoxide anion radical (O2(.-)) and hydroxyl radical (.OH). We tried to detect the scavenging activity of Pt nps using a hypoxanthine-xanthine oxidase system for O2(.-) and using a Fenton and a UV/H2O2 syst...
Electrolyzed reduced water (ERW) supplemented with platinum nanoparticles (Pt Nps)(ERW/Pt Nps) exhibited strong antioxidative
and active hydrogen donating activities. ERW/Pt Nps-containing medium caused lowering of cell viability. Analysis of cell
cycle and activity of caspase-3 suggested that ERW/Pt Nps induced apoptosis in cancer cells. This apop...
Electrolysed-reduced water (ERW) contained Platinum nanocolloids (PtNCs) of 1–10 nm, suggesting that PtNCs in ERW functioned as active hydrogen donors and scavenge intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis revealed that synthesized PtNCs of about 2 nm scavenged superoxide anion radicals and DPPH rad...
