This invention relates to novel therapeutic uses of beta-adrenergic agonists in humans and animals. The uses include increasing muscle growth and reducing fat uptake from dietary input, retarding or reversing atrophy of denervated muscle, alleviating or reversing the effects of various diseases (including cancer), modification of foetal and neonatal growth, and possible genetic modifications of the developing foetus.
The preferred beta-adrenergic agonist is clenbuterol.
Surprisingly, the beta-adrenergic agonist can be mixed with a beta-adrenergic antagonist to obviate or mitigate unwanted side-effects without excessively inhibiting the wanted novel effects.
本发明涉及β-肾上腺素能激动剂在人类和动物中的新型治疗用途。这些用途包括增加肌肉生长和减少从饮食中摄取脂肪,延缓或逆转肌肉萎缩,减轻或逆转各种疾病(包括癌症)的影响,改变胎儿和新生儿的生长,以及对发育中的胎儿进行可能的基因改造。
首选的β-肾上腺素能激动剂是克伦特罗。
令人惊奇的是,β-肾上腺素能激动剂可与β-肾上腺素能拮抗剂混合使用,以避免或减轻不希望出现的副作用,同时又不会过度抑制想要达到的新效果。
