Oxidative Stress in the Blood Labyrinthine Barrier in the Macula Utricle of Meniere’s Disease Patients

The blood labyrinthine barrier (BLB) is critical in the maintenance of inner ear ionic and fluid homeostasis. Recent studies using imaging and histopathology demonstrate loss of integrity of the BLB in the affected inner ear of Meniere’s disease (MD) patients. We hypothesized that oxidative stress i...
