clenbuterol and Weight Gain

clenbuterol has been researched along with Weight Gain in 21 studies

Clenbuterol: A substituted phenylaminoethanol that has beta-2 adrenomimetic properties at very low doses. It is used as a bronchodilator in asthma.
clenbuterol : A substituted aniline that is 2,6-dichloroaniline in which the hydrogen at position 4 has been replaced by a 2-(tert-butylamino)-1-hydroxyethyl group.

Weight Gain: Increase in BODY WEIGHT over existing weight.

" Daily injection of the beta 2-adrenergic agonist clenbuterol (1 mg/kg body-weight) increased weight gain by 12% in young (35 d) male rats and by 18% in castrated rats, but had no effect on energy intake, expenditure or efficiency in either group."7.67Increased body-weight gain and body protein in castrated and adrenalectomized rats treated with clenbuterol.

( Smith, DJ, 2000)

"3."1.30Effects of thiamine and clenbuterol on body composition, plasma metabolites and hepatic oxygen consumption in broiler chicks. ( Hamano, Y; Okada, S; Tanaka, T, 1999)
"Clenbuterol was potent at causing an increase in the rate of contraction of isolated rat atria, and when fed to cattle over 2 d, the drug caused heart rate to increase by 92 to 117%."1.29Growth, nitrogen metabolism, and cardiac responses to clenbuterol and ketoclenbuterol in rats and underfed cattle. ( Brown, L; Hunter, RA; Lindsay, DB; Magner, T; Matthews, ML; Pegg, GG; Sillence, MN; Sleeman, M, 1993)
"Clenbuterol was administered as a dietary admixture (4 mg/kg diet) to three groups of male Wistar rats (n = 8) housed individually in metabolism cages and fed for 15 d at 110, 160, and 235% (ad libitum) of estimated requirement for energy maintenance."1.29Effect of clenbuterol on growth and body composition during food restriction in rats. ( Cardoso, LA; Stock, MJ, 1996)
" Administration of clenbuterol either alone or in combination with GH increased the cross-sectional area of both fast twitch glycolytic (FG), and fast twitch oxidative glycolytic (FOG) fibres in both muscles."1.28Effects of bovine pituitary growth hormone alone or in combination with the beta-agonist clenbuterol on muscle growth and composition in veal calves.
