Protective effects of alpha-lipoic acid on hair cell damage in diabetic zebrafish model.

ABSTRACT: 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.
