Assessment of the stria vascularis in the CONT and TSK-KO mice. a, b Thickness of the stria vascularis (SV) (p = 0.13) and expression of claudin-11 and the potassium channel KCNQ1, which are markers of the marginal and basal cells, did not differ between the CONT and TSK-KO mice. c Endocochlear potentials (EPs) decreased in the TSK-KO mice, but only marginally (p = 0.20). d In addition, expression of connexion-26 (Cx26), a marker of the spiral ligament, was comparable between the CONT and TSK-KO mice except for the subcentral region below the spiral prominence. N.S.: not significant
