Correlation between circulating corticosterone and protein carbonylation in the liver after short-term hypokinesia

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2013 Dec;156(2):188-90. doi: 10.1007/s10517-013-2307-x.

Abstract

We studied the correlation of the concentration of circulating corticosterone and parameters of dexamethasone suppression test with the level of protein carbonylation in the liver after short-term hypokinesia. Increasing hypokinesia duration was followed by worsening of disturbances in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system via a negative feedback mechanism and enhanced protein carbonylation in the liver.
