Morphological changes in the adrenal glands medulla under the action of the food supplement complex / S. V. Donchenko, S. M. Bilash, Ya. O. Oliinichenko // Modern research in world science : Proceedings of the 3rd International scientific and practical conference. SPC “Sci-conf.com.ua”. Lviv, Ukraine, June 12-14, 2022. – Lviv, 2022. – P. 139–140.978-966-8219-86-3https://repository.pdmu.edu.ua/handle/123456789/19260Abstract: nowadays, food supplements are in great demand. They give food different taste properties and help extend its shelf life. The consumer often does not think about what dangerous substances enter the body, albeit in small quantities, and how food supplements (sodium nitrite, monosodium glutamate, and Ponceau 4R) affect the endocrine system and adrenal glands in particular, at this time still not known. Today, there are several thousand food additives that the consumer is unaware of in foods and that can affect human organs, in our case the adrenal glands. Sodium glutamate (E 621), sodium nitrite (E 250), and Ponceau 4R (E 124) are some of the most common dietary supplements we are studying. The main consequences of taking many supplements are the following symptoms: chest and abdominal pain, migraine, nausea, tachycardia, obesity, weakness, and allergies. We should pay particular attention to the effect of these supplements on the adrenal glands, which can cause organ dysfunction and lead to cancer.enfood supplementsadrenal glandscortexmedullaendocrinocytesmonosodium glutamatesodium nitritePonceau 4RThesis
