  • THE EFFECTS OF CLENBUTEROL ON INTRAMUSCULAR COLLAGEN METABOLISM IN DENERVATED MUSCLE

    In order to explore the effects of clenbuterol on intramuscular collagen metabolism in denervated skeletal muscles, a randomized, double-masked and placebo-controlled group were studied. Seventy-one patients with complete function loss in muscularcutaneous nerve resulted from brachial plexus injury were administered clenbuterol or placebo 60 micrograms Bid for more than 3 months. Biopsies of the biceps brachia muscle were performed at the beginning and end of this study. The biopsied muscles were processed with anti-collagen I and IV immunohistochemical stains and image analysis as well. The result showed that the collagen proliferation of both type I and IV was much reducible in the clenbuterol-treated group than that of the placebo-treated group (P lt; 0.05). It was concluded that clenbuterol could inhibit partially the proliferation of intramuscular collagens in denervated skeletal muscle.
