Assessment of SV thickness and capillary number. a–n SV regions in the apical, middle, and basal regions of cochlear tissues from male (a–f) and female (h–m) Gsta4^+/+ and Gsta4^−/− mice after cisplatin treatment. Scale bar = 20 μm. The thickness of SV in the apical, middle, and basal region of cochlear tissues from male (g) and female (n) Gsta4^+/+ and Gsta4^−/− was measured. The quantification shows a mean of at least three independent experiments (n = 3), *p < 0.05 vs. +/+ (two-way ANOVA). Error bars represent ± s.e.m. o, p Numbers of endomucin-positive capillaries in the SVs in each region (apical, middle, and basal region) of cochlear tissues were counted and quantified in male (o) and female (p) Gsta4^+/+ and Gsta4^−/− mice after cisplatin treatment. The quantification shows mean of at least three independent experiments (n = 3). Error bars represent ± s.e.m. Source data are provided as a Source Data file
