Hyperinsulinemic, euglycemic clamp tests were performed on calves before and after clenbuterol treatment. Clenbuterol was given as 2 intramuscular injections with an interval of about 12 h. The dose used was 1 μg/kg b.w. The treatment resulted in increased plasma levels of insulin and glucose. The results of the clamp tests showed that clenbuterol induced a transient decrease in insulin sensitivity. Both insulin mediated glucose disposal (M), expressed as μmol/kg live b.w./min. and the M/I-index (M divided by the average insulin concentration at steady state) were significantly reduced after treatment. The effect of clenbuterol on carbohydrate metabolism seemed to be rather short-lived, since significant changes occurred only in animals treated 5-6 h prior to the test. According to the literature, the metabolic effects of clenbuterol have been studied only after the high doses used for growth promoting purposes. The results from the present study showed that similar changes occur also after doses at the therapeutic level. The hyperinsulinemic, euglycemic clamp test was considered to be a valuable tool for the study of insulin sensitivity in cattle.
