The protective effect of dexamethasone (DEX) against noise-induced trauma, as reflected in hair cell destruction and elevation in auditory brainstem response (ABR) sensitivity, was assessed in guinea pigs. The animals were administered DEX (1, 10, 100, and 1000 ng/ml) or artificial perilymph (AP) via a mini-osmotic pump directly into scala tympani and, on the fourth day after pump implantation, exposed to 120 dB SPL octave band noise, centered at 4 kHz, for 24 h. Animals receiving DEX demonstrated a dose-dependent reduction in noise-induced outer hair cell loss (significant at 1, 10 and 100 ng/ml DEX animals compared to AP control animals) and a similar attenuation of the noise-induced ABR threshold shifts, observed 7 days following exposure (significant at 100 ng/ml DEX animals compared to AP control animals). These physiological and morphological results indicate that direct infusion of DEX into the perilymphatic space has protective effects against noise-induced trauma in the guinea pig cochlea.

D007758 Ear, Inner The essential part of the hearing organ consists of two labyrinthine compartments: the bony labyrinthine and the membranous labyrinth. The bony labyrinth is a complex of three interconnecting cavities or spaces (COCHLEA; VESTIBULAR LABYRINTH; and SEMICIRCULAR CANALS) in the TEMPORAL BONE. Within the bony labyrinth lies the membranous labyrinth which is a complex of sacs and tubules (COCHLEAR DUCT; SACCULE AND UTRICLE; and SEMICIRCULAR DUCTS) forming a continuous space enclosed by EPITHELIUM and connective tissue. These spaces are filled with LABYRINTHINE FLUIDS of various compositions.

D005938 Glucocorticoids A group of CORTICOSTEROIDS that affect carbohydrate metabolism (GLUCONEOGENESIS, liver glycogen deposition, elevation of BLOOD SUGAR), inhibit ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE secretion, and possess pronounced anti-inflammatory activity. They also play a role in fat and protein metabolism, maintenance of arterial blood pressure, alteration of the connective tissue response to injury, reduction in the number of circulating lymphocytes, and functioning of the central nervous system.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
