Genetic influences on hypoxic conditioning

This paper addresses the relationship between noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) and hypoxic conditioning prior to noise exposure. The study begins the process of determining the number and characteristic of the gene(s) involved in the cochlear hypoxic conditioning response.

Evaluaton of a genetic marker within the organ of Corti of transgenic mice

This paper reviews a study to evaluate a genetic marker within the organ of Corti in transgenic mice for potential use in cell lineage studies.

Genetic and temporal aspects of protection by kanamycin against cochlear noise injury

Experiments explored the minimal kanamycin dosing regimen that renders protection against noise induced hearing loss in young CBA/J mice. We also tested the age-dependence of protection in CBA/J as well as the dependence of protection on a particular genetic background in experiments using young C57BL/6J and CBA/CaJ mice.

Genetic influences on early cochlear vulnerability to noise and protection from noise by low-dose kanamycin in hybrid mice

Experiments evaluated both noise vulnerability and the extent of protection from noise by sub-chronic low-dose kanamycin in young F1 hybrids resulting from a cross between C57BL/6J and CBA/J inbred mice.
