11-Deoxy Corticosterone-d7

11-Deoxy Corticosterone-d7 is a synthetic derivative of 11-deoxy corticosterone, a naturally occurring glucocorticoid hormone. Glucocorticoids, including corticosterone, play roles in regulating various physiological processes in the body. 11-Deoxy Corticosterone-d7 has been developed for scientific research purposes and extensively used in laboratory experiments to study the effects of corticosterone. As a deuterium-labeled compound, it offers unique advantages in research as it is metabolically inert, allowing researchers to investigate the specific actions of corticosterone without interference from endogenous corticosteroids or other metabolites. This labeled compound has been employed in numerous studies to explore the impact of corticosterone on various physiological systems. It has been particularly utilized to investigate corticosterone′s influence on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which regulates stress response, as well as its effects on immune function, metabolism, cognition, and behavior. By binding to glucocorticoid receptors present in different tissues and organs throughout the body, 11-Deoxy Corticosterone-d7 initiates a cascade of downstream effects. These effects include the modulation of gene expression, regulation of metabolism, suppression of certain immune responses, and influence on cognitive and behavioral processes.
