Salbutamol (16 μM, 24 h) significantly induces EMT, migration and invasion by ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) phosphorylation in gastric cancer cells[1].
Salbutamol (5 mg/kg/day, orally, for 2 consecutive weeks) can increase tumor growth in nude mice with gastric cance[1].
Salbutamol (6 mg/kg orally for 4 weeks) has a significant protective effect against STZ -induced skeletal muscle atrophy in diabetic rats[2].
