Protection against severe hypokalemia but impaired cardiac repolarization after intense rowing exercise in healthy humans receiving salbutamol [PDF]
Journal of applied physiology, 2018 Intense exercise induces pronounced hyperkalemia, followed by transient hypokalemia in recovery. We investigated whether the β2 agonist salbutamol attenuated the exercise hyperkalemia and exacerbated the postexercise hypokalemia, and whether hypokalemia ...
