چکیده
The effect of dietary administration of clenbuterol on soleus and extensor digitorum longus muscles was studied after 4 and 21 days. Both muscles showed an increase in wet weight with no significant change in total fibre number. After 4 days fibre cross-sectional areas were increased in soleus, but not in extensor digitorum longus, and after 21 days there was a change in fibre frequencies in extensor digitorum longus but not soleus muscles.

The effect of the anabolic agent, clenbuterol, on overloaded rat skeletal muscle.
The dietary administration of clenbuterol to young male rats has been shown to produce a muscle specific hypertrophic growth response. This paper demonstrates that the combined effect of drug treatment and hypertrophic stimulus induced by tenotomy produced an additive effect on muscle growth. This effect was demonstrated in terms of both muscle composition (protein and RNA) and fibre size.
متن کاملEffect of Clenbuterol Administration into the Basolateral Amygdala on Synaptic Plasticity in Dentate Gyrus Granule Cells in Male Rats
Background and purpose: Neural circuits and neurotransmitter systems within the basolateral amygdala (BLA) play roles in forming emotional memory through communication with the hippocampus. Therefore, in this study, the role of these neural circuits on synaptic plasticity was investigated by agonist injection of beta-adrenergic receptors into the BLA. Materials and methods: In this experiment...

1. Young rats were offered to appetite a semi-synthetic diet either alone or containing the beta 2-selective agonist clenbuterol (4-amino-alpha[t-butylamino)methyl]-3,5-dichlorobenzyl alcohol). 2. In female rats (starting weight 116g) the presence of the drug at daily doses greater than 10 micrograms/kg body-weight per d increased the growth of skeletal and cardiac muscle but had no stimulatory...
متن کاملThe Effect of Erythropoietin on Rat’s Red Blood Cell Indices in Simulated Microgravity (Experimental Study)
Purpose: Microgravity causes major changes in various systems of the body in space, such as shift in cerebrospinal fluid, decreased red blood cells count, and electrolyte loss. These complications are very important in space and we should find new approaches to prevent the side effects of microgravity in astronauts. Materials and Methods: This experimental study was conducted on 21 adult ma...
