Corticosterone

SKU: orb1224921

Description

Corticosterone is a sensitive inhibitor of monoamine transport. (In Vitro):Corticosterone (100 nM; 30 min) via SGK phosphorylation of GDI at Ser-213, increases the formation of GDI-Rab4 complex, facilitating the functional cycle of Rab4 and Rab4-mediated recycling of AMPARs to the synaptic membrane.Corticosterone (CORT) (1 μM; 48 h) shows good immunosuppressive properties (functionally compromises maturation of BMDC), which impairs LPS-induced up-regulation of maturation-associated markers (MHC class II, B7.2, B7.1 and CD40).(In Vivo):Corticosterone results in a marked reduction in the ability of BMDC cells to prime naive CD8+ T cells in vivo.Corticosterone (0.03 or 1 mg/kg; s.c.; single) downregulates expression of BDNF mRNA in dentate gyrus and CA1 of rats.Corticosterone (2.6 mg/kg; in animal feedings; 8 days) restores ethanol intake and preference to approximately normal preoperative levels in adrenalectomy (ADX) rats.
