Researcher : Hui SSC

Project Title:	Evaluation of novel neuroeudocrine probes for assessing neural 5-HT function
Investigator(s):	Prof. Hui S.S.C., Mr. Chan T.Y.
Department:	School of Professional and Continuing Education
Source(s) of Funding:	School of Professional and Continuing Education
Start Date:	May 1997

Abstract:

To evaluate some novel 5-HT agonists with selectivity and potency towards respective 5-HT receptor subtypes for their potential applications as selective 5-HT neuroendocrine probes.

Project Title:	A study of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) regression by pharmacological agents in a rat model of congestive heart failure
Investigator(s):	Prof. Hui S.S.C.
Department:	School of Professional and Continuing Education
Source(s) of Funding:	Block Grant Earmarked for Research
Start Date:	July 1998
Completion Date:	December 2001

Abstract:

Clinically, the angiotension converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitors and calcium antagonists are effective in causing LVH regression. A clinically tested formulation of Chinese medicinal preparation 'Wen Xin Bao' has similar efficacy but offers a high therapeutic index. Since the process of LVH regression is not clearly defined and reported in the literature, the present study intends to elucidate on this and to compare the effects of the three pharmacological agents. The findings will contribute towards understanding and treatment of CHF in humans.
