Lactate dehydrogenase release in response to blast damage. Measurements of LDH released into the culture medium up to 72 h following exposure to high or low blast overpressures indicated a significant difference in the amount of LDH released into the medium between high and low blast at 2 and 24 h, and a significant difference between blasted sections and shams at all time points post-injury. *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001, blast compared to sham-injured OHCs, #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01, high- compared to low-blast group. n = 5–8 wells per each experimental group (each well equivalent to 5 slices).
