Juglone treatment induces C57BL/6 mouse hearing loss. (a) ROS level in the C57BL/6 mice serum. (b) PIN1 levels in the C57BL/6 mice serum. (c) Compared with the other groups, the juglone-treated group had significantly increased ABR thresholds at all frequencies, especially at high frequencies. Compared with the juglone-treated group, the juglone + NAC group had significantly decreased ABR thresholds at high frequencies. (d) In the basal turn hair cells, SA-β-gal-positive cells in the juglone-treated group were greater than those in the other groups ( vs. the DMSO group; # vs. the juglone group. ).
