Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)
- Corticosterone is similar in structure, although somewhat less potent, than the other glucocorticoids cortisol and cortisone.
- Evidence that corticosterone is not an obligatory intermediate in aldosterone biosynthesis in the rat adrenal.
- Evidence that a fast, rate-sensitive negative feedback effect of corticosterone is not a principal mechanism underlying the indomethacin inhibition of interleukin-1 beta-induced adrenocorticotropin secretion in the rat.
- Corticosterone is produced in response to the stimulation of the adrenal cortex by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and is the precursor of aldosterone.
- Tetrahydro Corticosterone - (TH-B) Clinical Significance: Corticosterone is a corticosteroid derived primarily from the hydroxylation of 11-Deoxycorticosterone.
