Abstract: SAMP8 mouse model presents accelerated senescence and has been identified as a model of gerontological research. We studied the effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC), an antioxidant, on SAMP8 hearing loss and memory. We observed a strong decrease of auditory brainstem response thresholds and an increase of distortion product amplitudes in NAC treated group compared to vehicle. Results confirm that NAC delays the senescence process by slowing the age-related hearing loss and improving memory.
