[Evaluation of adenosine triphosphatase in the stria vascularis and spiral ligament of the normal guinea pig].

چکیده
The enzymatic ATP-hydrolyzing system in the stria vascularis and spiral ligament of the normal guinea pig was investigated. The existence of membrane ATPase, which is said to be closely related to the active transport of sodium and potassium across biological membranes, was established. The membrane ATPase in the present study was found to be similar in many respects to that found in various tissues. The activity of the membrane ATPase in the stria vascularis and spiral ligament was considered to be fairly high in comparis-in to other secretory tissues. The distribution of the enzyme activity among various portions of the membranous labyrinth was also demonstrated.

Velocity of red blood cell flow in capillaries of the guinea pig cochlea.
Velocities of red blood cells (RBCs) in the lateral wall of the cochlea were determined in the anesthetized guinea pig from direct optical microscopic observations. Mean flow velocity of the blood was measured by timing the passage of a fluorescently-labeled subpopulation of RBCs across a measured capillary length. The optical observations were achieved using an intravital microscope equipped f...
متن کاملPurification of a carbonic anhydrase from the inner ear of the guinea pig.
A soluble carbonic anhydrase (carbonate hydro-lyase, EC 4.2.1.1) has been purified to homogeneity from the membranous lateral wall (stria vascularis, spiral ligament, spiral prominence, and outer sulcus) of the guinea-pig inner ear. About 1% of the protein of the membranous lateral wall is carbonic anhydrase. The specific activity of the enzyme in homogenates of the lateral wall is 1.6-1.8 time...
متن کامل[a Study on the Oxygen Consumption and Function of the Stria Vascularis and the Spiral Ligament].
ation for the origin of the inner ear disease, the cochlea response, physiology of hearing mechanism and to aid the pharmacological treatment of the inner ear deafness, the oxygen consumption of the stria vascularis and the spiral ligament was studied. The function of the stria vrscularis and the spiral ligament was also studied by electron microscopy. Healthy adult guinea pigs were used in the...
متن کاملCharacterization of Cochlear Degeneration in the Inner Ear of the German Waltzing Guinea Pig: a Morphological, Cellular, and Molecular Study
The German waltzing guinea pig is a new strain of animals with yet unknown gene mutation(s) displaying recessively inherited cochleovestibular impairment. The homozygous animals (gw/gw) are deaf already at birth and display typical waltzing behavior throughout life. The heterozygous animals (gw/+) do not suffer from hearing loss and vestibular symptoms. The present thesis is focused on the homo...
متن کامل[Expression of heat shock protein 70 mRNA in guinea pig cochlea with ototoxicity of gentamicin].
To examine the significance of heat shock protein 70 mRNA in ototoxicity resulted from gentamicin (GM), twenty healthy albino guinea pigs (200-250 g) of either sex with a positive Prier reflex were divided into two groups randomly. In GM group the animals received 100 mg/kg GM daily by intraperitoneal injection for 10 d. In saline control group the animals received 2.5 ml/kg saline daily by int...
