Prestin up-regulation in chronic salicylate (aspirin) administration: An implication of functional dependence of prestin expression

Salicylate (aspirin) can reversibly eliminate outer hair cell (OHC) electromotility to induce hearing loss. Prestin is the OHC electromotility motor protein. Here we report that, consistence with increase in d...
