A role of glucocorticoid receptors in the guinea pig vestibular system.

To investigate glucocorticoid receptor ( GR) function in the vestibular periphery, GR antagonist RU38486 was administered to the guinea pig inner ear by osmotic pump, and we observed post-rotatory nystagmus (PRN) changes as a marker of vestibular function. Ten days after treatment, RU38486 (1 mM) resulted in ipsilateral vestibule hyperexcitability in response to rotation stimulation. This effect was dose-dependent. These data indicate that steroid hormones may play an important role in maintaining vestibular function.[1]
