Title: | Steroidogenic enzyme expression in the rat cochlea | Authors: | Lecain, Eric TING-HUA YANG Tran Ba Huy, Patrice |
Keywords: | Cochlea | Endolymph | Hormone | Steroids | Issue Date: | Jan-2003 | Journal Volume: | 123 | Journal Issue: | 2 | Source: | Acta oto-laryngologica | Abstract: | Steroid hormones, and particularly mineralocorticoids, are candidates for controlling the homeostasis of endolymph as steroid receptors are widely expressed in the cochlea. In contrast, experiments on adrenalectomized animals have shown that an absence of steroids had little effect on the ionic composition of endolymph and hearing ability. We thus hypothesized that local production of steroids in the inner ear may regulate cochlear fluid exchanges. |
