To assess the efficacy of corticosteroid therapy for sudden-onset sensorineural hearing loss at lower frequencies. Retrospective, nonrandomized, controlled study. The recovery rate, recovery/improvement rate, and period between the start of therapy and improvement of symptoms were studied in 2 groups:
Previously we showed that glycation-induced inactivation and loss of antigenicity of enzymes occur simultaneously. Alpha-crystallin, a major structural protein of the mammalian lens, prevents the aggregation of other proteins and protects enzyme function against post-translational modification in vitro. However, it
