Running Head:-ß1-blockade and EMG signal during exercise. ABSTRACT Aim: This study analysed the effect of selective ß1-blockade on neuromuscular recruitment characteristics during progressive endurance exercise. Methods: Ten healthy subjects ingested a selective ß1-blocker, acebutolol (200mg b.d.), for 7 days (for one of two cycling trials), with a 10-day wash out period between trials. On the ...

Five estrogenic hormones (unconjugated + conjugated fractions) and 10 beta blockers were analyzed in three wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents and receiving river waters in the area of Lyon, France. In the different samples, only two estrogens were quantified: estrone and estriol. Some beta blockers, such as atenolol, acebutolol, and sotalol, were almost always quantified, but others, e...

The long-term use of β blockers has been shown to improve the outcomes of patients with heart failure (HF). However, it is still disputed whether this is a class effect, and, specifically, whether carvedilol or bisoprolol are superior to metoprolol. The present study was a comparative effectiveness study of β blockers for patients with HF in a population-based setting. We conducted an observati...
