Notes: Corticosterone is a steroid hormone produced in the cortex of the adrenal glands that binds to both glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptors.{26042} It is produced in response to ACTH (corticotropic hormone) and is the precursor to aldosterone synthesis.{19056} Since the production of glucocorticoids is increased by stress, it is often used as a biomarker of stress.{11468} Plasma corticosterone levels have a circadian variation and corticosterone may be important in the regulation of the sleep-wake cycle.{11469,11480}
