Hearing impairment is one of the complications in diabetes mellitus; however, there are very few therapeutic studies on it. In this study, we investigated the protective effect of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) on hearing loss in diabetic transgenic zebrafish and confirmed that ALA protects the loss of hair cells (HCs) caused by hyperglycemia. The data indicated that ALA has a protective effect on the damage to HCs in diabetic zebrafish.
听力障碍是糖尿病的并发症之一;然而,针对它的治疗研究非常少。在本研究中,我们调查了α-硫辛酸(ALA)对糖尿病转基因斑马鱼听力损失的保护作用,并证实ALA可保护高血糖引起的毛细胞(HCs)损失。数据表明,ALA对糖尿病斑马鱼的HCs损伤具有保护作用。
