Corticosterone is a glucocorticoid secreted by the cortex of the adrenal gland. Corticosterone is produced in response to stimulation of the adrenal cortex by ACTH and is the precursor of aldosterone. Corticosterone is a major indicator of stress and is the major stress steroid produced in non-human mammals. In addition to stress levels, corticosterone is believed to play a decisive role in sleep-wake patterns.
Tribioscience’s Corticosterone Competitive ELISA employs the competitive sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique to detect corticosterone concentrations in a variety of samples from plasmid, serum, and cell culture medium.
