Corticosterone, also known as 17-deoxycortisol and 11β,21-dihydroxyprogesterone, is a vital steroid hormone predominantly secreted by the adrenal cortex. As a major glucocorticoid, it is crucial for regulating stress responses, metabolic balance, immune functions, and fluid homeostasis. Maintaining normal corticosterone levels is essential for overall health, and deviations can lead to various health issues such as Cushing's syndrome, Addison's disease, metabolic syndrome, and immune disorders.

Corticosterone also significantly influences memory and cognitive functions. While appropriate levels of corticosterone aid in memory formation and consolidation, both excessively high and low levels can adversely affect cognitive processes. Elevated corticosterone over prolonged periods has been linked to cognitive decline and memory impairment, whereas insufficient levels can disrupt normal memory functions. Accurate measurement of corticosterone is crucial for understanding these effects, evaluating their impact on cognitive functions, and supporting the diagnosis and treatment of related conditions.
MtoZ Biolabs offers Corticosterone Analysis Service using high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS). This advanced method combines the separation capabilities of HPLC with the detection power of MS, ensuring high sensitivity and specificity in corticosterone detection.
