Explore the highly cited Corticosterone ELISA kit, a key tool for hormone research, offering sensitivity and versatility for analyzing stress hormones across various species and sample types.
All multicellular organisms produce hormones, which are regulatory biochemicals parts of the endocrine system and serve as a major form of communication between different organs and tissues. Hormones regulate a variety of physiological and behavioral activities, including digestion, metabolism, respiration, tissue function, sensory perception, sleep, excretion, lactation, stress, growth and development, movement, reproduction, and mood. Among others animal hormones are classified by their chemical types (e.g. peptide- or lipid-based). The peptide hormone family includes vasopressin, insulin, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormones (FSH), and several others, while the lipid hormones family includes phospholipid-derived hormones from the arachidonic pathway (e.g. eicosanoids) and steroid hormones like testosterone and cortisol. Enzo provides a variety of high sensitivity ELISAs, high quality antibodies, and high purity biochemicals for researchers looking at hormone-related research.
Highly sensitive corticosterone ELISA kit, species independent, used for animal stress research. This kit has been cited more than 440 times!
The Corticosterone ELISA kit is a colorimetric competitive enzyme immunoassay kit with results in 3 hours. Absorbance is read at 405 nm. The Corticosterone ELISA kit has low cross-reactivity with related steroids. The broad dynamic range makes this kit ideal for a wide variety of sample matrices from any species. 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.
