Experimental study on Meniere's disease.

Published: February 1983

Experimental hydrops caused by underabsorption of endolymphatic fluid is a model of remissional stage of Meniere's disease. In this study, another type of model, ie, hydrops caused by overproduction of endolymphatic fluid, was accomplished by applying various pressures into scala media through a micropipette via stria vascularis. This type of hydrops could be a model of attacks of Meniere's disease. By using two types of the model, effects of glycerol administration and of opening the endolymphatic sac were discussed.

Background: Meniere's disease arises when an abnormal fluid accumulation results in heightened pressure within the inner ear or labyrinth. Its symptoms encompass vertigo, tinnitus, hearing loss, and a sensation of fullness in the ear. Various triggers for Meniere's disease are known, from smoking and alcohol consumption to recent viral illnesses, allergies, and anxiety.

FAM136A deficiency has been associated with Ménière's disease. However, the underlying mechanism of action of this protein remains unclear. We hypothesized that FAM136A functions in maintaining mitochondria, even in HepG2 cells.
