Potential Energy00:52

Potential Energy

42.4K
The energy stored by a structure and location of matter in space is called potential energy. For instance, raising a kettlebell changes its spatial location and increases its potential energy. Similarly, a stretched rubber band contains potential energy which, under certain conditions, can be converted into other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy.
Chemical bonds that form attractive forces between atoms also contain potential energy, called chemical energy. When a chemical reaction...

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends

7.2K
Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends, or RACE, is one of the most effective methods to obtain a full-length cDNA from an mRNA sequence between a known internal region to the unknown sequence at the 5’ or 3’ end. The unknown region is cloned in the cDNA by a gene-specific primer that binds the known end, and a hybrid primer that attaches a predefined anchor sequence to the unknown end of the cDNA. The sequence in between is amplified by PCR with an anchor primer and a gene-specific...

Standard Electrode Potentials

50.0K
On comparing the reactivity of silver and lead, it is observed that the two ionic species, Ag+ (aq) and Pb2+ (aq), show a difference in their redox reactivity towards copper: the silver ion undergoes spontaneous reduction, while the lead ion does not. This relative redox activity can be easily quantified in electrochemical cells by a property called cell potential. This property is commonly known as cell voltage in electrochemistry, and it is a measure of the energy which accompanies the charge...

Thermodynamics of a Redox Reaction
Thermodynamics is the branch of physics dealing with the relationship between heat and other forms of energy. In an electrochemical cell, chemical energy is converted into electrical energy.
Thus, a link can be predicted between cell potential, free energy change, and the equilibrium constant for the reaction. Cell potential can also be measured as the oxidant or the reducing strength, and similar acid-base strength measures are reflected in equilibrium...

Adaptability of Cytoskeletal Filaments

5.7K
The cytoskeleton is a complex dynamic structure performing varied functions based on cellular requirements. The adaptability of the individual filaments in the cytoskeleton determines their ability to perform various functions within the cell. It can undergo rapid reorganization during processes like cell division or remain stable for several hours as in the interphase. The adaptability of these filaments depends on stringent regulatory mechanisms. The microfilament and microtubules of the...

Summary

The cochlea can adjust to reduced endocochlear potential (EP), maintaining amplification. Cochlear amplification recovery involves recentering the mechanoelectric transducer operating point, independent of EP stabilization.

Area of Science:

  • Auditory Neuroscience
  • Otoacoustic Emissions
  • Hair Cell Physiology

Background:

  • Endocochlear potential (EP) provides essential voltage for cochlear amplification.
  • Outer hair cell (OHC) transducer current drives OHC electromechanical force.
  • Previous studies suggest cochlear amplification adjusts to reduced EP.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate the mechanism of cochlear amplification adjustment to reduced EP.
  • Simultaneously measure EP, distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs), and local cochlear microphonic (LCM).
  • Determine how furosemide injection affects EP, DPOAEs, and LCM.

Main Methods:

  • Reversible EP reduction using intraperitoneal (IP) and intravenous furosemide.
  • Simultaneous measurement of EP, DPOAEs, and LCM.
  • Analysis of cochlear amplification using a Boltzmann model and LCM's second harmonic.

Main Results:

  • IP injection: DPOAEs recovered fully, EP reduced, LCM mirrored EP reduction.
  • Intravenous injection: Full cochlear amplification recovery with reduced EP observed.
  • Cochlear amplification recovery lagged behind EP recovery, indicating independent adjustment.
  • Mechanoelectric transducer operating point recentering correlated with amplification recovery.

Conclusions:

  • The cochlea can adapt to diminished operating conditions (reduced EP).
  • Cochlear amplification recovery is a distinct process from EP recovery.
  • Mechanoelectric transducer channel recentering is key to cochlear amplification recovery.
