CAMEL MILK PROTECTS TESTES AGAINST MSG DAMAGE

A research team made of Egyptian and Saudi Arabian scientists had examined the effects of camel milk and vitamin E on it's ability to protect testicular tissues and male endocrine derangement from toxic MSG effects.

MSG caused following toxic effects on testes:

• MSG induced testicular apoptosis (death of testicular cells).
• At the molecular levels, MSG reduced gene expression of testicular hormones and reduced receptors of androgen, Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and follicular stimulating hormone (FSH).

They had found superior ability of camel milk (CM) to vitamin E in exerting following effects:

• CM normalized the decrease in serum levels of testosterone, Luteinizing Hormone (LH), sperm profiles and testicular antioxidant activities that were decreased by MSG.
• All altered genes were normalized and upregulated in presence of CM when compared with vitamin E.

Current study team suggests usage of camel milk as a therapy against MSG used in food industry.
