Corticosterone is a glucocorticoid produced by the adrenal cortex in response to ACTH (corticotropic hormone) and is the precursor to aldosterone. The production of glucorcorticoids is increased by stress; therefore, corticosterone can be used as a biomarker of stress.{11468} Biologists often measure corticosterone in fecal material of the species they are studying.{11468,11469} This non-invasive sample collection procedure has the advantage of not itself causing stress and thereby increasing corticosterone levels, a common problem when samples for measurement of corticosterone are collected by more invasive means.{11468} Plasma corticosterone levels have a circadian variation and corticosterone may be important in the regulation of the sleep-wake cycle.{11469,11480} Cayman’s Corticosterone ELISA Kit is a competitive assay that can be used for quantification of corticosterone in serum and rodent feces.
