General description

Corticosterone is a steroid hormone produced mainly in the cortex of adrenal glands. It also known as the stress hormone and has a crucial role in enhancing and suppressing synaptic plasticity and memory processes.Rabbit anti-corticosterone antibody reacts specifically with corticosterone.

Immunogen

Corticosterone-21-Thyroglobulin

Application

Anti-corticosterone antibody can be used to measure total CORT level in serum using radioimmunoassay.

Physical form

The product is provided as a pre-diluted antiserum that has been lyophilized. Each vial contains no more than 20 mg Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP).

Reconstitution

Reconstitute with 5 mL buffer: 0.05 M Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 0.1 M sodium chloride, 0.1% bovine serum albumin, and 0.1% sodium azide. Store this stock at −20 °C. Working dilution (1:10) to be discarded if unused within 12 hours.

An understanding of year-round habitat use is essential for determining how carry-over effects shape population dynamics in long-distance migratory songbirds. The recent discovery of long-term migratory staging sites in many species, prior to arrival at final wintering sites, adds complexity

Carry-over effects in migratory birds are likely mediated by physiological processes that are activated in response to environmental variation. Such processes affect body condition and/or reproductive success, and can include corticosterone (CORT) because this hormone responds to environmental stressors and

Adrenal glucocorticoids play an important role in mediating many of the behavioral and physiological effects of exposure to stressors. Focus has been primarily on the acute stress-induced rise in glucocorticoids [corticosterone (CORT) in the rat]. There are reports, however, that

Several studies on birds have proposed that a lack of invertebrate prey in urbanized areas could be the main cause for generally lower levels of breeding success compared to rural habitats. Previous work on house sparrows Passer domesticus found that
