Disruption of ion-trafficking system in the cochlear spiral ligament prior to permanent hearing loss induced by exposure to intense noise: possible involvement of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal as a mediator of oxidative stress.
Noise-induced hearing loss is at least in part due to disruption of endocochlear potential, which is maintained by various K(+) transport apparatuses including Na(+), K(+)-ATPase and gap junction-mediated intercellular communication in the lateral wall structures. In this study, we examined the chan...
