Obesity is linked to poorer cognitive performance, both of which may result from eating high-fat foods during development. In the present study, pre - and periadolescent (postnatal days 21 to 40) male rats were fed high fat (HF), high sugar (HS), or rodent ch…

Loss of postnatal mammalian auditory hair cells (HCs) is irreversible. Earlier studies have highlighted the importance of the Retinoblastoma family of proteins (pRBs) ( i.e ., Rb 1, Rbl 1/p107, and Rbl 2/p130) in the auditory cells’ proliferation and emphasiz…
