To investigate the effect of clenbuterol hydrochloride on the in vitro development of both 1 cell and 2 cell mouse embryos. Methods The cultural systems of both 1 cell and 2 cell mouse embryo were used to determine the effect of clenbuterol hydrochloride at doses of 1 ng/mL, 3 ng/mL, and 10 ng/mL on developmental rates of mouse embryos. Results When 1 cell embryos cultured with 1 ng/mL of clenbuterol hydrochloride, developmental rates from the 4 cell stage to blastocyst stage were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05), but on dosages of 3 ng/mL and 10 ng/mL, the inhibiting effects on embryo development were significantly increased (P<0.01). When 2 cell embryos cultured with 1 ng/mL of clenbuterol hydrochloride, obvious differences in developmental rates were not found between the 2 cell embryo group and the control (P>0.05). However, at levels of 3 ng/mL and 10 ng/mL, significant decrease of developmental rates in 2 cell embryos was observed from the 4 cell and from the 8 cell stage, respectively (P<0.05). Embryos cultured with clenbuterol hydrochloride appeared to have more granules, fragments and degeneration than those in the control. Conclusion Clenbuterol hydrochloride has a toxic effect on the mouse embryos, and the effect is in a dose dependent. 1 cell mouse embryos cultured with clenbuterol hydrochloride could be easily inhibited at 2 cell stage, but the effect of clenbuterol hydrochloride on development of the late 2 cell embryos would be reduced.
