Propranolol apparently separates the physical and compositional characteristics of muscle growth induced by clenbuterol.

چکیده
The effect of propranolol on clenbuterol-induced changes in muscle fibre size and protein content were studied. Propranolol did not inhibit the ability of clenbuterol to stimulate protein accretion but reduced the increase in muscle fibre size. The compositional and physical characteristics of clenbuterol-induced muscle growth thus appeared to be separated by propranolol.

Effects of clenbuterol and propranolol on muscle mass. Evidence that clenbuterol stimulates muscle beta-adrenoceptors to induce hypertrophy.
1. A single subcutaneous injection of clenbuterol hydrochloride (0.125 mg/kg body wt.) to female Wistar rats produced a rapid increase in muscle cyclic AMP and lactate concentrations and a decrease in muscle glycogen concentrations. These changes are characteristic of muscle beta-adrenoceptor stimulation and were abolished by intraperitoneal injection of propranolol (12.5 mg/kg) 15 min before c...
متن کاملEffects of clenbuterol on resting tension and contractile response in vesicourethral smooth muscle of rabbits.
The effects of clenbuterol, a selective beta 2-agonist, on isolated smooth muscle preparations from the rabbit bladder body, bladder base and proximal urethra have been investigated. The inhibitory effects on resting tension and acetylcholine- and field stimulation-induced contractions in the bladder body were compared with those of flavoxate, atropine, and verapamil. Clenbuterol (10(-10)-10(-7...
متن کاملDifferent ability of clenbuterol and salbutamol to block sodium channels predicts their therapeutic use in muscle excitability disorders.
Activation of muscle beta(2)-adrenergic receptors successfully counteracted sarcolemma inexcitability in patients suffering from hyperkalemic periodic paralysis (HPP), a hereditary disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding the skeletal muscle sodium channel. Looking for potential modulation of these channels by beta(2)-adrenergic pathway using patch-clamp technique, we found that clenbut...
متن کاملRapamycin inhibits the growth and muscle-sparing effects of clenbuterol.
Clenbuterol and other beta2-adrenergic agonists are effective at inducing muscle growth and attenuating muscle atrophy through unknown mechanisms. This study tested the hypothesis that clenbuterol-induced growth and muscle sparing is mediated through the activation of Akt and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathways. Clenbuterol was administered to normal weight-bearing adult rat...
متن کاملAging alters neuronal nitric oxide release from rat mesenteric arteries: role of presynaptic beta-adrenoceptors.
This study examines the influence of aging on the neuronal nitric oxide (NO) and noradrenaline (NA) release elicited by electrical field stimulation (EFS; 200 mA, 0.3 ms, 1-16 Hz, 30 s) in endothelium-denuded mesenteric arteries from young and old rats, as well as the influence of the presynaptic beta-adrenoceptors in that release. EFS induced frequency-dependent contractions. N(G)-nitro-l-argi...
