Examining the Influence of Muscle Fiber Type on Protein Turnover Signaling in Growing Pigs
… our results. This is why we aimed to use β-adrenergic agonist as a means to induce a shift fiber type in muscles to a more glycolytic phenotype. Our objective was to determine the influence of the β-adrenergic agonist Ractopamine (RAC) induced slow-to-fast fiber type transformation on the …

AIRWAY SURFACE HYPERVISCOSITY AND DEFECTIVE MUCOCILIARY TRANSPORT BY IL-17/TNF-ALPHA ARE CORRECTED BY BETA-ADRENERGIC STIMULUS
… of ENaC channel, ATP12A proton pump, ADRB2 β-adrenergic receptor, and SLC26A4 anion exchanger. The overall result of IL-17A/TNF-α treatment was hyperviscosity of the airway surface, as demonstrated by fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) experiments. Importantly, stimulation with …

Effect of ractopamine hydrochloride (Paylean®) on fresh meat and further processing characteristics of muscles from the shoulders of finishing pigs
Ractopamine hydrochloride (RAC), a β-adrenergic agonist, increases muscle mass and decreases fat deposition in the pig. Though RAC has been extensively studied, to date no experiments have quantified its effect on the pork shoulder. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to characterize the …

Altering Muscle Hypertrophy and Fat Accumulation in Myostatin Null Mice
… in myostatin null mice through the use of the β-adrenergic agonist clenbuterol. The effects of clenbuterol treatment and the loss of myostatin function are quite similar and, in this study, were completely additive. Clenbuterol treatment increased muscle weights and protein accretion and reduced …

The effect of two levels of dietary ractopamine hydrochloride (Paylean®) supplementation on growth performance, feed efficiency and quantitative carcass traits in finisher gilts
… industry for over 30 years. RAC is a beta-adrenergic agonist which is supplemented in the feed during the last 28 days prior to harvesting in finisher pigs to modify the pig's metabolism such that nutrients are redirected to favour muscle accretion rather than adipose deposition, and hence …

Soft [beta]-adrenoceptor agonists for topical use in psoriasis
… cell surface receptors are stimulated by β-adrenergic agonists, intracellular ATP is transformed into c-AMP, thus restoring the c~AMP/c~GMP levels. This thesis describes a series of β-adrenoceptor agonists for topical delivery based upon the soft-drug approach. Soft drugs are defined as …
