Abstract
As key factors in the development and maintenance of the auditory system, neurotrophins can prevent auditory neuron degeneration when applied within three to five days of deafening. We tested each of the neurotrophins BDNF, NT-3, NT-4/5 and NGF for their ability to support auditory neuron survival following a two-week period of deafness in guinea pigs, when approximately 15% auditory neuron degeneration has already occurred. Although delayed, the treatment with each neurotrophin prevented further degeneration with similar efficacy. Copyright 2004 Lippincott Williams and WilkinsEntities:
