개요Hydrocortisone-d4 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of hydrocortisone/cortisol by GC- or LC-MS. Cortisol, known as hydrocortisone when used as a therapeutic, is a glucocorticoid produced by the adrenal cortex in response to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). It is an agonist at the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) and the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), with an approximately 6- to 10-fold greater affinity for MR. Cortisol production is increased during periods of stress, and it is a major effector molecule in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) stress response. Cortisol levels increase with age and are often elevated in major depressive disorder, certain forms of hypertension, and Parkinson''s disease.

용도Anti-inflammatory hormone

일반 설명Cortisol, also known as hydrocortisone, is a glucocorticoid produced by the adrenal gland. This stable labeled internal standard is suitable for quantitation of cortisol levels in whole blood by LC-MS/MS for newborn screening of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and in serum or plasma by LC-MS/MS for determination of several diseases including Cushing′s syndrome, Addison′s disease, and Sheehan′s syndrome.
