What is it about?

Diabetes mellitus is a common autoimmune disease that causes macrovascular (cardiopathy) and microvascular (retinopathy, neuropathy, and nephropathy) disorders with a negative impact on the cochlea.Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol that is obtained from grapes and prevents oxidative stress and has antiapoptotic and cochlear protective effects.RSV administration offered statistically significant protection for the cochleas of rats against diabetes. This protective effect improved histologically with higher doses.

Why is it important?

In the light of our findings, we conclude that diabetes-related ototoxicity can be greatly prevented by RSV use due to its antioxidant properties

Perspectives

Diabetes Mellitus is a very common disease . Preventing hearing loss in diabetic patients may be a very great and easy way with resveratrol medical treatment that can be easily obtained from grapes.This study may be a clear and prominent light for researchers and people suffering from diabetic hearing loss. I am so happy.
