Biography
Hsuan Lo is a PhD scholar study in the department of pharmacology and toxicology at Tzu Chi University, our lab is interested in neuropharmacology particular in alcohol effects on the central nerve system and cardiovascular function. My studies focus on the mechanism of acute ethanol intake action on the glutamate signaling within the rostral ventral lateral medulla (RVLM). I have performed the whole animal model with practiced skill in RVLM microinjection of drug and femoral artery surgery for measureing blood pressure, and also have set up the HPLC system to detect the neurotransmitter content. On the other hand, my master's thesis was studied of Amyloid-beta peptides on NMDA receptor activation in rat sympathetic preganglionic neurons using whole cell patch clamp technique. All my training have led me to know more about how the CNS works to control cardiovascular function.
