ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

To describe a technique to obtain guinea pigs cochlear fluids and measure nitric oxide (NO) concentration.

METHODS:

Six guinea pigs were used and sacrificed. The cochlear fluids collected for measurement of NO, performed by chemiluminescence (NOA 280).

RESULTS:

Through the chemiluminescence was possible to analyze the concentration of NO in cochlear fluids obtained. Average levels of nitric oxide from guinea pigs was 12.55 µM.

CONCLUSION:

It is possible to obtain nitric oxide cochlear fluids, with this technique and nitric oxide concentration measure by chemiluminescence, a quantitative and more precise method.
