Abstract:

Introduction: The aim of this study was evaluation the effects of bilateral carotid artery occlusion on cochlear oxidative stress and hearing status in rat. Methods: The rats were divided into two sets. First set used for electrophysiological recording (click and 4 kHz tone burst ABR and EcochG) at day before surgery and 1st, 4th and 7th days after surgery. Animals of second set that used for biochemical analysis. Cochleae of animals in second set were collected at 1st, 4th and 7th days after carotids occlusions for biochemical analysis. For control groups no carotids occlusion took place. To ischemia induction both common carotid arteries were occluded for 20 minutes. Results: Electrophysiological analysis showed ABR thresholds significantly elevated after common carotid arteries occlusion at 1st, 4th and 7th days after surgery and abnormal EcochG results at 75%, 70% and 85% in 1st, 4th and 7th days after surgery respectively. Electrophysiological finding confirmed by biochemical results that showed Malondialdehyde and Nitric oxide levels were increased and Superoxide dismutase and Catalase activities decreased after occlusion in cochleae tissue. Conclusion: this study showed that bilateral common carotid artery occlusion increases cochlear oxidative stress and induces hearing loss in rat.

Prolonged and Intermittent Bilateral Common Carotid Artery Occlusion Induces Brain Lipidome Changes in a Rat Stroke Model

Background: Recent studies suggest that prolonged and intermittent bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (prolonged bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (PO) and intermittent bilateral common carotid artery occlusion, respectively) can lead to reduced ischemia brain injury in ischemic tolerance. Objectives: In this study, we aimed to investigate the changes in brain lipidomics followin...

Folic acid deficiency induces premature hearing loss through mechanisms involving cochlear oxidative stress and impairment of homocysteine metabolism.

Nutritional imbalance is emerging as a causative factor of hearing loss. Epidemiologic studies have linked hearing loss to elevated plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) and folate deficiency, and have shown that folate supplementation lowers tHcy levels potentially ameliorating age-related hearing loss. The purpose of this study was to address the impact of folate deficiency on hearing loss and to ...

Ichthyotoxic Cochlodinium polykrikoides Induces Mitochondrial Mediated Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis in Rat Liver Hepatocytes

In this research, we investigated the cytotoxic mechanisms of Cochlodinium polykrikoidescell lysate on isolated rat liver hepatocytes.This micro algae is responsible for a severe and widespread harmful algal bloom in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman (2008-2009). Isolated hepatocytes were obtained by collagenase perfusion of Sprague-Dawley rat liver.According to our results, incubation of algal...
