The Effect of Beta Glucan on Cisplatin Ototoxicity [PDF]
Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery, 2013 This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of betaglucan in ameliorating cisplatin ototoxicity. Rats were divided into four groups: cisplatin (C), cisplatin plus beta glucan (CB), beta glucan (B), and control (K). Distortion product otoacoustic emissions were elicited in 0th, 1st, and 5th days.
