Popis: This study aims to assess whether geranylgeranylacetone (GGA) could reduce ototoxicity induced by cisplatin through upregulation of not only heat shock protein(HSP)-70, but also HSP-27 and HSP-40, and to study if GGA would reduce cisplatin-induced increase in oxidative stress. 48 guinea pigs were used in this study and treated with the following regimen: 0.5% CMC (sodium carboxymethyl cellulose) control for 7days, GGA (600mg/kg/d) for 7days, a combination of GGA (600mg/kg) for 7days and then one dose of 10mg/kg cisplatin (GGA+Cis), and a combination of CMC for 7days and then 10mg/kg cisplatin (cisplatin group). Auditory brainstem response (ABR) measurement was performed in each animal at time before treatment and 7days after the last dose. Additionally, HSPs, nitric oxide (NO), and lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels in cochlear membranous tissues were assessed. The mean ABR thresholds in the cisplatin group were significantly (p
