    Glossary Corticosterone

    steroid hormone from adrenal glands regulating stress and energy

    Corticosterone is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal cortex, which is part of the adrenal glands located on top of the kidneys. It plays a crucial role in regulating energy, immune response, and stress by influencing the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. In humans, it is less prominent than cortisol but still significant in the overall hormonal balance.
