Gender Differences in Obesity-Related Hearing Loss in Mice

Gender Differences in Obesity-Related Hearing Loss in Mice

Obesity impacts hearing differently in male and female mice, with males experiencing greater hearing loss. Females show protective effects, possibly due to higher adiponectin levels that safeguard ear cells, highlighting sex-specific responses to obesity.

Abstract Synopsis

  • The study found that diet-induced obesity affects hearing differently in male and female mice, with males showing greater weight gain, higher blood sugar, and more hearing loss, while females are more protected.
  • Female mice had higher levels of adiponectin, a hormone that protects ear cells, which increased with a high-fat diet only in females, potentially explaining their resistance to hearing damage.
  • The research revealed sex-specific biological responses in the ear and body to obesity, including differences in cochlear proteins and inflammation, highlighting that gender plays a role in how obesity impacts hearing health.]
