Inhalation and Incubation with Procaterol Increases Diaphragm Muscle Contractility in Mice
Background: Although procaterol is used clinically as a β2-adrenergic receptor agonist to relax airway smooth muscle, it has not yet been clarified whether procaterol has inotropic effects on respiratory muscles. Methods: Three intervention groups were investigated: a procaterol inhalation only grou...
