Role of Masseter Muscle β2-Adrenergic Signaling in Regulation of Muscle Activity, Myosin Heavy Chain Transition, and Hypertrophy

Role of Masseter Muscle β2-Adrenergic Signaling in Regulation of Muscle Activity, Myosin Heavy Chain Transition, and Hypertrophy

Chronic administration of clenbuterol (CB), a lipophilic β2-adrenoceptor (β2-AR) agonist, induces skeletal muscle hypertrophy and slow-to-fast fiber–type transitions in mammalian species, but the mechanism and pathophysiological roles of these changes have not been explored. Here, we examined the ef...
