Clenbuterol, also known as clenbuterol, is a drug commonly used in animal husbandry, mainly for the prevention of respiratory diseases in livestock. However, due to its *** and potential health risks, many countries have banned its addition to livestock feed. This article will detail the effects of Clenbuterol, its mechanism of action, health risks, and the relevant regulations and regulations.
Clenbuterol** and mechanism of action:
The chemical structure of Clenbuterol is similar to that of adrenaline, which stimulates protein synthesis in livestock and reduces fat deposits, thereby increasing lean meat percentage. Adding clenbuterol to livestock feed can effectively prevent respiratory diseases and promote animal growth. However, excessive or irregular use of Clenbuterol may lead to drug residues, which in turn can cause harm to human health.
What are the health risks that excessive intake of Clenbuterol poses to our body?
1.Acute poisoning symptoms: Excessive intake of clenbuterol may cause acute poisoning symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, increased blood pressure, palpitations, dizziness, muscle tremors, and sweating.
2.Long-term effects: Long-term exposure to Clenbuterol may increase the risk of malignancy, especially bladder and prostate cancer. In addition, long-term exposure to Clenbuterol may also lead to cardiovascular disease, liver disease, etc.
3.Effects on children: Children are more sensitive to clenbuterol, and long-term exposure may affect its growth and development, leading to problems such as precocious puberty and mental retardation.
Given the health risks of Clenbuterol and many countries have banned its addition to livestock feed. China** has also taken a series of measures to strengthen the regulation of clenbuterol and crack down on illegal additions. For example, since 2002, China has explicitly banned the addition of clenbuterol to animal feed. In addition, the supervision of feed production and animal drug sales has been strengthened, and penalties have been increased to increase the cost of violations.
