Intended Use
The DRG Corticosterone ELISA is an enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative in vitro diagnostic measurement of corticosterone in serum or plasma (lithium heparin or citrate plasma).
Summary and Explanation
Corticosterone is a glucocorticoid secreted by the cortex of the adrenal gland. Corticosterone is produced in response to the stimulation of the adrenal cortex by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and is the precursor of aldosterone. Corticosterone is a major indicator of stress since stress increases the production of corticosteroids. Studies involving corticosterone and levels of stress include impairment of long term memory retrieval [1], chronic corticosterone elevation due to dietary restrictions [2] and in response to burn injuries [3]. In addition to stress levels, corticosterone is believed to play a decisive role in sleep-wake patterns [4,5].
