InterestsDr. Speth's research focuses on the renin angiotensin system (RAS) of the brain. He studies angiotensin II (Ang II) receptors using pharmacological (radioligand binding), anatomical (receptor autoradiography, stereotaxic surgery, immuno-cytochemistry, in situ hybridization), neurochemical (selective neurotoxin administration, radio-immunoassay, transmitter quantitation), and physiological (blood pressure, water consumption, estrous cycle) techniques. |
