Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Corticosterone base is the primary glucocorticoid in many non‑human vertebrates. It diffuses into cells and binds cytosolic glucocorticoid receptors, initiating transcriptional suppression of inflammatory genes and upregulation of metabolic, anti‑stress and gluconeogenic pathways.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in HPA‑axis research, stress‑response modelling, glucocorticoid‑receptor signalling studies, immunomodulation assays and behavioural‑endocrinology experiments.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include metabolic dysregulation, immune suppression, behavioural alterations and endocrine‑axis disruption. Handle with steroid‑hormone safety procedures.
