Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of the beta2-adrenoceptor clenbuterol on food-restricted sheep. Clenbuterol was administered as a dietary admixture (4 mg/ kg diet) to a group of male Serra da Estrela sheep (n = 6). The animals were housed individually in metabolic cages and fed for 45 days at 65% of estimated requirement for energy maintenance. An untreated group with the same energy intake level was included as a control. Changes in body mass, nitrogen and energy balances and insulin, insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), and triiodothyronine (T3 ) levels in the experimental animals were monitored. During the 4th week of the trial, clenbuterol-treated sheep showed increased mass gains, greater energy retention and serum IGF-1 levels and decreased T3 serum concentrations. This study showed that clenbuterol may induce a protective effect in sheep subjected to periods of food deprivation, based on the body mass and digestible energy effects manifested by treated animals.

clenbuterol you either love it or hate it, no in between has been my experience lol,

I do not believe I’ve read this study before, but its a good one! I remember when guys thought clen was a steroid used to pack on muscle, and on this very aboard and across many more like ours, the debate and argument went on and on and on and guys claiming to have added massive amounts of muscle on clenbuterol lmao,


Thank GOD for the internet and sites filled with solid information,
