Expression of adiponectin and adiponectin receptor 1 in the inner ear. To visualize adiponectin receptor (red) and adiponectin (green), whole-mount of the auditory epithelium (a) or paraffin sections (b–e) of cochlea were prepared. Adiponectin receptors (red) were appeared as puncta in the inner hair cell membrane, Claudius cells, Hensen cells, inner phalangeal cells and cochlear nerve and neurons. Adiponectin (green) were expressed throughout the organ of Corti, mostly in the inner hair cells. Scale bar = 50 μm
