Abstract
This study investigated the effect of Clenbuterol on liver, kidney function, and lipid profile in adult male rabbits. Forty rabbits were divided into four groups, with the first group receiving distilled water (control) and the others receiving Clenbuterol at doses of 2, 4, and 6 μg/kg for 30 days. Blood samples were collected at 14 and 30 days for biochemical analysis. Results showed a non-significant increase in AST and ALT enzyme activities in the lower doses (2 and 4 μg/kg) but a significant increase in the 6 μg/kg group compared to the control. Clenbuterol caused a significant decrease in uric acid, urea, TC, TG, and LDL levels, while HDL levels significantly increased. This study concluded that Clenbuterol at 6 μg/kg significantly affects liver enzyme activity, reduces lipid profile concentration, and decreases uric acid and urea levels after 30 days of treatment.
