Synopsis
Initial evidence is provided for central effects of the β2-AR agonist clenbuterol on CBF in healthy volunteers. Regions showing particular effect (the hippocampus and thalamus) are associated with cognition and neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s Disease, so similar targeting of β2-AR may prove beneficial in these conditions. Further work is required to determine the extent of central mediation of the effect of β2-AR agonism with clenbuterol in healthy volunteers.
