Clen???????

[flexon]

Is clen a vasodilor or a constrictor? just wondering

 

[Presser]

i believe it is somewhat like ephedrine wich is a bronchial diolater, but im not real sure it is used for asthma like ephedrine wich i know for sure is a diolater

Clenbuterol, I believe is a beta-agonist, making it a vasoconstrictor...anyone else know???

 

[Presser]

i was way way off, thnaks bro for clearing that up, just when you think you know it all....lol,

Thanks guys, I was reading up some more on it and am considering it to shed the last little bit of fat i want to get rid of. But somewhere I read that it can improve vascularity, but I don't see how this is possible because I also thought it was a vasoconstrictor.

Clen is a beta adrenergic antagonist, but it is used as a bronchodilator. Here's some info on it:

Me too. About 60lbs. That extra holiday weight from '87 isn't going to shed itself.

I hear ya, the last time I saw my abs was in eigth grade, I'm 24 now. Never been overweight or anything, just not ripped. Right now I weigh 185 and I'm 6'2". I have never weighed more than 195. I just wanna cut up real nice before I start trying to bulk again. I've been the same size since I graduated college 2 1/2 years ago. Time for a change.

Thanks for the info TK. To me it sounds like it may dilate the blood vessels, someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but thats what I got out of this statement.


Pharmacology - Like other beta-2 agonists, clenbuterol is believed to act by stimulating production of cyclic AMP through the activation of adenyl cyclase. By definition, Beta-2 agonists have more smooth muscle relaxation activity (bronchial, vascular and uterine smooth muscle) versus its cardiac effects (Beta 1).

Here is what I have learned. I have not learned anything about the drug specifically in school, but I will explain my thinking. Beta-blockers vasodialate. They are antagonist and usually specific for beta 1 receptors in vascular smooth muscles. When a beta 1 receptor is blocked, catecholamines (adrenaline, norepi) cannot exert there effects on smooth muscle (they cause constriction). Beta 2 receptors are commonly found in the lung on bronchial smooth muscle and are affected in an opposite mannor. Epinephrine and other catecholamines cause smooth muscle relaxation and therefore bronchodialation. Here is where I make the inference. B-Blockers end in -olol such as metoprolol and atenolol. Beta-agonists ,which stimulate beta-receptors, end in -buterol such as albuterol and, well, clenbuterol. Beta-blockers vasodialate and can bronchoconstrict. Beta-agonists would then vasoconstrict and bronchodialate. Let me know if you guys understand it the same way. Interested in other opinions.

Shit, now I'm all confused.

 

[saudades]

Ok, ok, don't get confused, lol. Here is what it does:

Bronchodilation = opens airways
Vasodilation = constricts blood vessels

The key is the part before -dilation. Broncho means lungs, and vaso means blood.

all I know is that it helps keep the cheeseburgers from binding...

 

[laurlaur]

is it hard to get?
i hear its great. im 130, defined, but not ripped. just need 5lbs off, and its almost impossible. this will help.

If I was you I would try to gain some weight by eating clean and lifting, it might also help you cut up as well. At 130 I wouldn't even think of cutting bodyfat.

That's what I figured. I was just hoping it would dilate the vessels as well. Would taking Nitric Oxide interfere in the process you think?

 

[laurlaur]

Well, I just ordered some tabs, 20mcgs. Should I be cutting these in half? And how much should I be taking?

 

[irishpride]

start your own thread laurlaur you will get more help that way..what are your stats, m/f, weight, age etc the norm

Clen is used to treat asthma in a numbe rof European countries, I know a guy who swears by it for his asthma
