Abstract excerpt
Age-related hearing loss in humans and many strains of mice is associated with a base-to-apex gradient of cochlear hair cell loss. To determine if copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn SOD) deficiency influences age-related cochlear pathology, we compared hair cell losses in cochleas obtained from 2-, 7-, and 17- to 19-month-old wild type (WT) mice with normal levels of Cu/Zn SOD and mutant knockout (KO) mice...
