From: A unique radioprotective effect of resolvin E1 reduces irradiation-induced damage to the inner ear by inhibiting the inflammatory response

Fig. 2

Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed the changes to the hair cells of the basement membrane after irradiation and resolvin E1-pretreatment. The arrows indicate the points of the loss of basement membrane hair cells. The loss could be observed in the apical, medial and basal gyrus of the cochlea on days 7 and 14 after irradiation. Pretreatment with resolvin E1 (RvE1) clearly reduced this damage. An obvious reduction in the number of hair cells can be observed at the points indicated by the arrows in the Rad+RvE1 group compared to the Rad group
