Effects of the β2-Agonist Clenbuterol on β1- and β2-Adrenoceptor mRNA Expressions of Rat Skeletal and Left Ventricle Muscles

The β2-agonist clenbuterol [4-amino-α(t-butyl-amino)methyl-3,5-dichlorobenzyl alcohol] is used as a non-steroidal anabolic drug for sports doping. The effects of clenbuterol on the transcriptional process and mRNA stability of β-adrenoceptor (β-AR) in skeletal and cardiac muscles are still unknown....
