[HTML][HTML] Intake of umami-tasting solutions by mice: a genetic analysis
AA Bachmanov, MG Tordoff, GK Beauchamp - The Journal of nutrition, 2000 - Elsevier
In two-bottle preference tests with water and solutions of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and
inosine-5′-monophosphate (IMP), mice from the C57BL/6ByJ inbred strain consumed more
and had higher preferences for these solutions compared with mice from the 129/J strain.
The C57BL/6ByJ mice consumed 300 mmol/L MSG in large amounts, which were
comparable to intakes of highly preferred solutions of sweeteners. The strain differences in
voluntary consumption of 300 mmol/L MSG depended at least in part on postingestive …
