Clenbuterol has shown a neuroprotective action in the central nervous system by induction of growth factors after cellular damage. Additionally, the atrophy of sceletal muscle is attenuated by the application of Clenbuterol after denervation. This experiment was performed to show the influence of Clenbuterol on regeneration of peripheral nerves. MEHOD AND MATERIAL: In a rat model, the sciatic nerve was transected and microsurgically coaptated. Eight animals in each group received a daily oral dosage of 100 microg/kg bodyweight during four, respectively six weeks. Two control groups received only drinking water under the otherwise same protocol. The assessment was done histologically, morphometrically and clinically. The weight ratio of the soleus and extensor digitorum muscles of the operated to the contralateral side was measured.
