Numerical Evaluation of Efficacy of Glutamate on Gastrointestinal Motility: Rapid MRI Study.

In conclusion, the present observations of rapid MRI indicate that MSG accelerates gastric emptying by facilitating duodenal motility, at least in healthy subjects with positive responses to MSG. This suggests the possible use of MSG as a prokinetic nutrient for improving the quality of life in hospitalized patients after a clinical assessment. PMID: 27725383 [PubMed - in process]
