Inflammatory Mechanisms in Mediating Hearing Loss (2018) Vickram Ramkumar

Description

This book examines the role of inflammatory mechanisms in mediating hearing loss, focusing specifically on common preventable forms like drug- and noise-induced hearing loss. It details the mechanisms involving the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cochlea and the identification of ROS-generating enzymes such as xanthine oxidases, nitric oxide synthase, and NADPH oxidases.
