Growth hormone (GH) plays an important role in auditory development during the embryonic stage. Exogenous agents such as sound, noise, drugs or trauma, can induce the release of this hormone to perform a protective function and stimulate other mediators that protect the auditory pathway. In addition, GH deficiency conditions hearing loss or central auditory processing disorders. There are promising animal studies that reflect a possible regenerative role when exogenous GH is used in hearing impairments, demonstrated in in vivo and in vitro studies, and also, even a few studies show beneficial effects in humans presented and substantiated in the main text, although they should not exaggerate the main conclusions.
生长激素(GH)在胚胎期的听觉发育中起着重要作用。外源物质,如声音、噪音、药物或创伤,可以诱导这种激素的释放,以发挥保护作用,并刺激其他保护听觉通路的介质。此外,GH 缺乏会导致听力损失或中枢听觉处理障碍。有一些有前途的动物研究表明,外源性 GH 在听力损伤中的应用可能具有再生作用,这在体内和体外研究中都得到了证实,甚至有一些研究在文中展示了人类的有益效果,尽管它们不应夸大主要结论。
