“Mean urinary concentration of N-acetyl glucosaminidase and alanine aminopeptidase increased faster and to higher levels with gentamicin than with tobramycin.”
“Cells exposed to 2 mM gentamicin for 6 days displayed a significant decrease in specific activities of leucine aminopeptidase, NaK ATPase, and N-acetyl glucosaminidase , and an increase in total cellular phospholipids (P < .05).”

“This indicates that gentamicin may induce an altered carbohydrate metabolism resulting in a decrease of N-acetyl-glucosamine , mannose, galactose and glucose in the glycocalyx lining the epithelial cells as well as in the gelatinous layer of the otolithic membrane or cupula in the vestibular end organs.”
