Effects of antioxidants on auditory nerve function and survival in deafened guinea pigs

Based on in vitro studies, it is hypothesized that neurotrophic factor deprivation following deafferentation elicits an oxidative state change in the deafferented neuron and the formation of free radicals that then signal cell death pathways. This pathway to cell death was tested in vivo by assessin...
