TABLE 1.

Protein Assays Using Chinchilla End Organs and Pituitary Glands1

Tissue Amount of protein (µg/organ)
Crista 11.91 ± 0.60
Otolith organ2 14.98 ± 1.03
Cochlea 218.75 ± 37.123
Pituitary 156.17 ± 15.86
1

Values are mean ± SD. N = 3 animals in each case except cochlea, for which N = 2.

2

Otolith organ refers to either the utricular or saccular macula.

3

Cochlear tissue includes some bone, which adds to the total protein content.
