Correlations among monosodium glutamate (MSG) and sweetener solution preferences in F₂ mice (n = 450–454)

Solutions	MSG	Sucrose	Saccharin	d-Phenylalanine
	300 mmol/L	120 mmol/L	20 mmol/L	30 mmol/L
MSG,
1 mmol/L	+0.07	+0.11	+0.10	+0.03
MSG,
300 mmol/L		0.00	+0.01	−0.04
Sucrose,
120 mmol/L			+0.72^*	+0.50^*
Saccharin,
20 mmol/L				+0.56^*

Significant correlations; the significance level was determined using Bonferroni correction for 10 correlation coefficients estimating critical P level as 0.05/10 = 0.005.
