eflornithine and Deafness

eflornithine has been researched along with Deafness in 6 studies

Eflornithine: An inhibitor of ORNITHINE DECARBOXYLASE, the rate limiting enzyme of the polyamine biosynthetic pathway.
eflornithine : A fluoroamino acid that is ornithine substituted by a difluoromethyl group at position 2.

Deafness: A general term for the complete loss of the ability to hear from both ears.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Previous neonatal gerbil studies have identified a dosing regimen of 1 g/kg per day of DFMO given for 3 weeks that results in reversible HL on click-evoked auditory brainstem response (ABR)."1.32Difluoromethylornithine-induced reversible hearing loss across a wide frequency range. ( Doyle, KJ; Smith, MC; Tinling, S, 2004)
" The objectives of these three experiments were to: 1) determine a dose and dosing schedule of DFMO that produces significant hearing loss (HL) in newborn gerbils; 2) compare the HL level for control and newborn gerbils receiving daily subcutaneous injections of DFMO; and 3) to determine if DFMO-related HL is significantly reversible following discontinuation of DFMO treatment."1.31Delayed, reversible hearing loss caused by difluoromethylornithine (DFMO). ( Doyle, KJ, 2001)
