Aminophylline restores glucocorticoid sensitivity in a guinea pig model of sudden sensorineural hearing loss induced by lipopolysaccharide

Abstract Glucocorticoids have been used to treat hearing loss and vestibular dysfunction for many years. However, some reports have indicated that a subset of patients with these disorders exhibit glucocorticoid insensitivity or resistance. A reduction in histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) activity and e...
