Abstract
Prolonged treatment with two chemically distinct beta-stimulants, Salbutamol and Terbutaline, resulted in mesovarian leiomyomas in Sprague-Dawley rats. Development of these tumors induced by Salbutamol was prevented by concurrent administration of the beta-blocker Propranolol. Mesovarian leiomyomas induced by Salbutomol did not show any regression or progression during a 44-week postdosing recovery period. This report also gives the first recorded incidence of spontaneous mesovarian leiomyomas in the rat.Entities:
