| 11. | This enzyme helps produce hormones called cortisol and corticosterone.
|
| 12. | Corticosterone levels correlated nicely to the survival data, increasing as survival rates decreased.
|
| 13. | Corticosterone is comparable to cortisol in this case.
|
| 14. | Corticosterone both inhibits protein synthesis and degrades proteins.
|
| 15. | Increased levels of corticosterone in chicks leads to increased begging for food and aggressiveness.
|
| 16. | It can also act on aldosterone, corticosterone and cortisol, to some extent.
|
| 17. | Corticosterone has further developmental effects on birds.
|
| 18. | It is a potent mineralocorticoid, with generally greater such activity than that of corticosterone.
|
| 19. | Corticosterone is activated when the bird is exposed to stress, such as migrating great distances.
|
| 20. | As well, the rats showed increased corticosterone while experiencing stress during a serial memory task.
