Plasma corticosterone concentrations in the perinatal rat.
1. Plasma corticosterone concentrations were determined in the foetal rat during the gestational period from day 18.5 to term and in postnatal rats over the first few hours after delivery. 2. The plasma corticosterone concentrations in foetal rats are as high as six times maternal values at day 19 of gestation and are approximately equal to maternal values from day 20 to term. 3. In postnatal r...
متن کاملPlasma concentrations of total and free corticosterone during development in the rat.
A sensitive protein-binding assay has been used to measure plasma concentrations of total corticosterone during postnatal development in the rat. These concentrations were extremely low on days 6--12, showed a significant rise by day 14, and then continued to rise until peaking on day 24. Plasma titers of corticosteroid-binding globulin rose even more dramatically from day 12 onward. Consequent...
متن کاملThe estimation of small amounts of corticosterone in rat plasma.
Many of our investigations involving adrenal physiology have been carried out in the rat (14). Since corticosterone is the preponderant adrenal steroid found in rat plasma, l it became essential to develop a rapid, valid method for its determination. The Silber-Porter method (5) is inadequate for studies in the rat because it is neither sensitive nor specific enough. The method of Sweat (B), al...
متن کاملCorticosterone concentrations in the mouse.
The report of Monjan and Collector (1) emphasizes the modulating effects of stress on the immune response in mice. This important and timely contribution strengthens a growing awareness that either intentional or uncontrolled anxietystress in various forms can have critical effects on immunological and pathological reactions in-mice and other experimental animals. There are some technical matte...
متن کاملElevation of serum prolactin and corticosterone concentrations in the rat after the administration of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine.
The racemic mixture of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), which has been reported to produce selective destruction of serotonergic neurons in the central nervous system, was studied to determine its neuroendocrine and temperature effects and mechanism of action. MDMA elevated serum concentrations of corticosterone in doses ranging from 3 to 20 mg/kg administered i.p. Serum corticosterone...
