| Research Abstract |
The β2-agonist clenbuterol increases muscle mass by promoting muscle protein synthesis and/or attenuating protein degradation. This study was to investigate the effect of clenbuterol administration on immobilization atrophy in rat skeletal muscle. The findings of the present study showed that clenbuterol attenuated the decrease in muscle mass and single fiber cross-sectional area in the extensor digitorum longus muscle, but did not in soleus muscle. These results suggested that antiatrophic effects are specific for the fast-twitch muscle on the immobilization atrophy in rat skeletal muscle.
