| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
As compared to that in the non-ovariectomized group (control) the ABR threshold in the ovariectomized group was significantly higher at 32 KHz at 1 month after surgery (3-months-old), and at 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 kHz at 2 months after surgery (4-months-old). 2) The three-layer structure which consists of laminae rarae eterna and interna and lamina densa, could be not identified clearly in the capillary basement membrane in the stria vascularis at both 3-months-old and 4-months-old in both the ovariectomized group and non-ovariectomized group. Distribution of cationic polyethyleneimine (PEI) particles was hardly observed on the capillary basement membranes in the stria vascularis in both the ovariectomized group and control group. 3) No marked difference in expression of ER alpha and ER beta was observed in the cochlea between the control group and the ovariectomized group.
