Popis:	Objective: Cisplatin is a commonly used chemotherapeutic agent. One of its major dose limiting side effects is ototoxicity. No treatment has yet been approved for this condition. The objective of this study was to determine the potential protective effect of a systemic administration of erdosteine against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity.Method: Guinea pigs were assigned to 4 groups, each receiving a different concentration of intraperitoneal erdosteine: 0, 100, 200, and 500 mg/kg/d for 4 days. All of the animals received 12 mg/kg/d of intraperitoneal cisplatin. Auditory brainstem response (ABR), scanning electron microscopy, and outer hair cell counts were performed.Results: Significant otoprotection was observed in groups receiving 200 and 500 mg/kg/d of erdosteine as demonstrated by high frequency (25 kHz) ABR threshold shifts. These findings are supported by outer hair cell counts by scanning electron microscopy. Guinea pigs receiving 100 mg/kg/d did not present otoprotection.Conclusion: A systemic admin...
