Description

General description

Stress is defined as the disruption of homeostasis through physical and/or psychological stimuli orstressors. Physiologically the neuroendocrine system, which includes the hypothalamus, pituitary and adrenal glands, plays a critical role in response to stress. Activated by corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and arginine-vasopressin (AV), the pituitary gland releases ACTH which results in the secretion of cortisol / corticosterone and other glucocorticoids from the adrenal glands. These corticoids involve the whole body in the stress response and are involved in the termination of the stress response by a negative feedback loop to the hypothalamus. Corticosterone and melatonin are important in the regulation of the sleep-wake cycle.

MILLIPLEX^® Rat Stress Hormone Panel is a 3-plex kit to be used for the simultaneous quantification of any or all of the following analytes in serum, plasma, tissue/cell extracts or culture media samples: ACTH, corticosterone and/or melatonin. This kit uses a 96-well format, contains a lyophilized standard cocktail, two internal assay quality controls and can measure up to 38 samples in duplicate.

The Luminex^® xMAP^® platform uses a magnetic bead immunoassay format for ideal speed and sensitivity to quantitate multiple analytes simultaneously, dramatically improving productivity while conserving valuable sample volume.
