Denervation and β2-adrenoceptor-agonist administration on craniofacial bone density
Objective: β2-agonist medications are thought to have adverse effects on bone density. Surgical denervation and intramuscular β2-agonist injections appear to have opposing effects on skeletal muscles. The present study has been designed to assess the effects of denervation of the masseter, intramusc...

| description | Objective: β2-agonist medications are thought to have adverse effects on bone density. Surgical denervation and intramuscular β2-agonist injections appear to have opposing effects on skeletal muscles. The present study has been designed to assess the effects of denervation of the masseter, intramuscular injection of a β2-agonist and the combination of both procedures, on bone density in the craniofacial skeleton in rats. |
