Keywords	加齢性難聴 / Sirt1 / MNAM / 高脂肪食負荷 / 基礎医学
Outline of Final Research Achievements	Age-related hearing loss was prevented in the MNAM group compared to control group. Sirt1 expression was reduced in the control group compared to MNAM group. Sirt1 expression was prevented from the decrease in MNAM group.
Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	新しいSirt1安定化メカニズムを惹起する薬剤を用いて加齢性難聴を予防することを可能とした。今後、ヒトに応用されれば加齢性難聴発症を予防できる可能性がある。
