Previous animal studies have shown that cisplatin administration causes an elevation of ABR thresholds. These auditory changes are accompanied by alterations in the concentration of glutathione and the antioxidant enzymes in the cochlea. The authors' previous work has indicated that the protective agent diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) prevents decrease in glutathione (GSH), alteration of antioxidant enzyme activity, and disruption of cochlear function with cisplatin administration.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Wistar rats were sedated and underwent pretreatment ABR testing using clicks and tone burst stimuli at 8, 16, and 32 kHz. Control rats received saline by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection. Positive control rats were administered cisplatin 16 mg/kg i.p. Three groups of rats received protective agents in combination with cisplatin. The DDTC-protected rats were given 600 mg/kg of DDTC subcutaneously 1 hour after cisplatin. Animals protected by 4-methylthiobenzoic acid (MTBA) were given 250 mg/kg of this agent i.p. 30 minutes before cisplatin. Animals protected with ebselen were given 16 mg/kg i.p. one hour before cisplatin. The ABR thresholds were recorded 72 hours after cisplatin administration in all groups.

Rats administered each of the three protective agents in combination with cisplatin had ABR threshold shifts of <10 dB. The cochleae of rats administered cisplatin alone had nearly a 50% depletion of glutathione and about a 50% reduction in the activities of SOD, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase, while catalase activity was reduced to 70% of control values.
