Studies on the Pyruvic Acid Metabolism in Blood and in Inner Ear Fluids and the Succinic Dehydrogenase Activity in the Sensory Cells of the Cochlea of Guinea-pigs after the Exposure to White Noise

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to observe how acoustic trauma occurs and what the relationship between vitamin B₁ and that is by investigating the biochemical disturbance of pyruvic acid metabolism and the histochemical change of succinic dehydrogenase activity in the sensory cells of the cochlea.
