Table 2.

Effect of ginger and propolis on calcium, sodium and potassium levels of brain tissues in MSG-treated rats.

Groups	Calcium (mmol/L)	Sodium (mmol/L)	Potassium (mmol/L)
Normal control (drinking H₂O)	0.598 ± 0.048 ^b	157.949 ± 1.8 ^b	10.929 ± 0.51 ^b
Monosodium glutamate (MSG)	0.941 ± 0.011 ^a,*	192.268 ± 3.5 ^a,*	6.790 ± 0.35 ^a,*
MSG + Ginger	0.675 ± 0.063 ^b	164.947 ± 4.1 ^b	8.739 ± 0.44 ^a,b
MSG + Propolis	0.594 ± 0.021 ^b	164.161 ± 3.3 ^b	9.112 ± 0.49 ^a,b

Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 6). In the columns, mean values with the same superscript letters are non-significant; otherwise, there is a significant difference. ^a Significantly different from normal control group at p ˂ 0.05 (*). ^b Significantly different from the MSG group at p ˂ 0.05 (*).
