Effects of barium and ion substitutions in artificial blood on endocochlear potential
DC Marcus, M Rokugo, R Thalmann - Hearing research, 1985 - Elsevier
Previously, a qualitative assessment was made (Marcus, DC (1984): Am. J. Physiol. 247,
C240–C246) of the ion-selective properties of the cells bounding the cochlear duct by
observing the effects of ion substitutions in the perilymph on the transepithelial potential
difference (endocochlear potential; EP). Contributions by the marginal cells of the stria
vascularis to the observed changes in the EP may have been masked, however, due to their
'isolation'from the perilymph by a continuous layer of basal cells. Since the ionic milieu of the …
