IPA treatment protected against TCP-induced damage of HCs. (A) Representative figures of HCs in the basal turn of mice cochlea after 21 days of gavage in NC, 40 mg/kg IPA, 50 mg/kg TCP, 20 mg/kg IPA + 50 mg/kg TCP, and 40 mg/kg IPA + 50 mg/kg TCP groups (corn oil as solvent), (B) Bar graph showing the average number of HCs in basal turn after 21 days of gavage in NC, 40 mg/kg IPA, 50 mg/kg TCP, 20 mg/kg IPA + 50 mg/kg TCP, and 40 mg/kg IPA + 50 mg/kg TCP groups (corn oil as solvent, n=3). Data represent the mean  ±  SD; ***: p < 0.001 compared with control; #: p < 0.05 compared with 50 mg/kg TCP group; ###: p < 0.001 compared with 50 mg/kg TCP group by one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc test.
