Scientific Background: | 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 production has been shown to increase with stress, with elevated corticosterone levels being associated with impairment of long term memory retrieval and following burn injury. In addition to stress levels, corticosterone is believed to play a decisive role in sleep-wake patterns. |

Protocol: | Suggested Small Volume Protocol for Serum/Plasma Samples
Let all solutions come to room temp before use. Aliquot 10µl of each sample into microfuge tube. Make 1ml 1:100 Steroid Displacement Reagent (SDR) solution (immediately before use) in deionized water or PBS (not assay buffer) Add 10µl 1:100 SDR to each sample tube. Vortex, let stand >5 minutes before diluting with EIA buffer. Add 380µl EIA assay buffer to each plasma tube, vortex. Final dilution is ~1:40 (This final dilution may not be appropriate for every sample; thus, optimal dilution must be determined by each end user for their experimental sample group.) |
