General description

Corticosterone is a steroid hormone produced mainly in the cortex of adrenal glands. It also known as the stress hormone and has a crucial role in enhancing and suppressing synaptic plasticity and memory processes.Rabbit anti-corticosterone antibody reacts specifically with corticosterone.

Immunogen

Corticosterone-21-Thyroglobulin

Application

Anti-corticosterone antibody can be used to measure total CORT level in serum using radioimmunoassay.

Physical form

The product is provided as a pre-diluted antiserum that has been lyophilized. Each vial contains no more than 20 mg Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP).

Reconstitution

Reconstitute with 5 mL buffer: 0.05 M Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 0.1 M sodium chloride, 0.1% bovine serum albumin, and 0.1% sodium azide. Store this stock at −20 °C. Working dilution (1:10) to be discarded if unused within 12 hours.

The postnatal synchronization of the circadian variation of the adrenal clock genes in mammals remains unknown. We evaluated the postnatal ontogeny of daily variation of clock genes (Clock/Bmal1/Per1/Per2/Per3/Cry1/Cry2/Rorα/Rev-Erbα) and steroidogenesis-related genes (Star and Mc2r) in rat adrenals and its relationship

The role of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in glucocorticoid physiology and during development was investigated by generation of GR-deficient mice by gene targeting. GR -/- mice die within a few hours after birth because of respiratory failure. The lungs at

Glucocorticoid (GC) hormones are significant regulators of homeostasis. The physiological effects of GCs critically depend on the time of exposure (short vs. long) as well as on their circulating levels (baseline vs. stress-induced). Previous experiments, in which chronic and high

Physiological metrics are becoming popular tools for assessing individual condition and population health to inform wildlife management and conservation decisions. Corticosterone assays can provide information on how animals cope with individual and habitat-level stressors, and the recent development of feather

In songbirds, the ability to learn and render the species-specific song is influenced by the development of both the song nuclei in the brain and the syrinx (bird's vocal apparatus) early in the bird's life. In black-capped chickadees (Poecille atricapillus)
