ABSTRACT
Objective To study the changes of the rat's hearing threshold by long-term treatment with Vitamin-C and the reason of the changes. Methods Forty-two Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: the treatment group was treated with water added Vit-C and the placebo group was treated with drinking water.(1)Concentrations of malondialolehyde(MDA)of the cochlea with fluorescence chromatometry.(2) Auditory sensibilities with auditory brainstem response testing.(3) The frequency of the mtDNA~(4834)bp deletion in the cochlea with polymerase chain reaction technique. Results Hearing threshold of both groups become worse with aging,and the treatment group showed the better auditory sensitivities,the less concentrations of MDA and the less frequency of mtDNA~(4834)bp deletion compare with the placebo group. Conclusions Long-term treatment with Vitamin-C could reduce the degree of hearing loss of the rats and the concentrations of MDA of the cochlea and the frequency of mtDNA~(4834)bp deletion in the cochlea.The oxygen radicals theory should be the etiology of presbyacusis.
