Previous research has demonstrated the sensitivity of the developing rat to the hypothyroxinemic and ototoxic effects of perinatal exposure to Aroclor 1254 (A1254). We tested the hypothesis that postnatal exposure via lactation is the major cause of the ototoxicity by cross fostering animals at
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the potential protective effect of thymoquinone in gentamicin-induced ototoxicity through auditory brain stem responses (ABR) testing and histomorphological evaluation of the cochlea.
METHODS
This study was conducted on 48 adult female Sprague-Dawley rats that were
Ototoxicity is a common side effect of cisplatin chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential protective effect of chrysin against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. Thirty-four adult female Wistar albino rats were separated into four groups: a cisplatin group (Group A), with
Gentamicin, acting as an iron chelator, activates membrane lipid peroxidation (MPL) and induces free radical formation, as observed in vitro and in vivo. Antioxidants, such as alpha-tocopherol, are able to suppress MLP, thus attenuating tissue damage. The present study was designed to investigate
Toluene is a major industrial solvent and substance of abuse which is ototoxic in rats as shown by both behavioral testing and measurement of brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER) thresholds. The objective of this investigation was to examine the morphological (hair cell loss) and functional
Lead poisoning disrupts many biological structures and functions, including those of the auditory system. This study examined the ototoxic effects of lead acetate (LA) and tetraethyl lead (TEL) of equal lead content on cochlear function and the ability of alpha-phenyl-tert-butyl-nitrone (PBN) to
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants that are a potential health hazard to human and wildlife populations. Low-frequency auditory impairments have previously been documented in Aroclor 1254 (A 1254)-exposed rats, including elevated behavioral auditory thresholds
Cisplatin, an antineoplastic drug, is widely used as a foremost therapy against numerous forms of cancer but it has pronounced adverse effects viz., nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity etc. CDDP-induced emesis and diarrhea are also marked toxicities that may be due to intestinal injury. Chrysin
OBJECTIVE
Free radicals are involved in gentamicin ototoxicity and vestibular dysfunction and it has been demonstrated that free radical scavengers, such as alpha-tocopherol, are able to inactive free radicals, attenuating tissue damage This study was designed to investigate the possible protective
Maternal exposure to polyhalogenated hydrocarbons results in early postnatal hypothyroxenemia and a low-frequency hearing loss in adult offspring (Goldey et al., 1995a. Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol. 135, 67-76; Herr et al., 1996. Fundam. Appl. Toxicol. 33, 120-128). The purpose of the present work was
