  2. 1. Corticosteroid receptors and Na,K-ATPase in the developing mouse cochlea

    Author : Susan Erichsen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : inner ear; stria vascularis; endolymph production; Na; K-ATPase; glucocorticoid receptor; mineralocorticoid receptor; knockout mouse; shaker-2; mix; immunohistochemistry;

    Abstract : The senses of hearing and equilibrium are highly dependent on the fluid and electrolyte homeostasis in the inner ear. The characteristic intracellular-like ionic composition of endolymph fluid in relation to the surrounding perilymph creates the endocochlear potential (EP), which is a prerequisite for inner ear function.

  4. 2. Mechanisms regulating ion transport in the secretory epithelia of the inner ear : an experimental study

    Author : Charlotte Ågrup; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : inner ear; stria vascularis; endolymphatic sac; endolymph; Na ; K -ATPase; plasma membrane-bound Ca2 -ATPase; fura-2 method; immunohistochemistry; immunoblotting; guinea pig;

    Abstract : The apical portions of the cells in the sensory end organs for audition and equilibrium border a fluid called endolymph. Endolymph is the only extracellular fluid in the body which is characterized by an intracellular-like ion composition. READ MORE

  5. 3. The Human Vestibular Aqueduct, Endolymphatic Duct and Sac : A Morphological Study Using Micro-CT, Super Resolution Immunohistochemistry and Synchrotron Phase Contrast Imaging

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Endolymphatic sac; endolymphatic duct; vestibular aqueduct; Meniere s disease; LVAS; micro-CT; synchrotron phase contrast imaging; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : The inner ear lies sheltered in the temporal bone and consists of basically three parts: the cochlea (the hearing organ), the vestibular (the balance organ), and the endolymphatic duct (ED) and endolymphatic sac (ES). The ES and ED are located in a bony canal, the vestibular aqueduct (VA), located on the medial side of the vestibule. READ MORE
