| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A low-salt diet was an effective treatment for patients with Meniere’s disease. This treatment will have a greater effect, when sodium intake is reduced to less than 3 g/day. A low-salt diet may induce an increase in the plasma aldosterone concentration that can activate ion transport and absorbing endolymph in the endolymphatic sac.
We also detected the expression of tricellulin, which is involved in controlling intracellular ion transport, in endolymphatic sac epithelia. Furthermore, we developed a new 3D imaging system for the endolymphatic sac.
