Protective effect of resveratrol against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in HEI-OC1 auditory cells

摘要

Objectives: Cisplatin is an effective chemotherapeutic drug, but it generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) that induce severe adverse effects such as ototoxicity. Resveratrol reportedly prevents oxidative stress-induced cell death. Thus, we hypothesized that the anti-oxidative effect of resveratrol could protect against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. The present study examined the protective effect of resveratrol against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in HEI-OC1 auditory cells.
