Beta2-adrenoreceptor agonist clenbuterol produces transient decreases in alpha-synuclein mRNA but no long-term reduction in protein

Abstract β2-adrenoreceptor (β2AR) agonists have been associated with a decreased risk of developing Parkinson’s disease (PD) and are hypothesized to decrease expression of both alpha-synuclein mRNA (Snca) and protein (α-syn). Effects of β2AR agonist clenbuterol on the levels of Snca mRNA and α-syn p...
