Corticosteroid signaling in frog metamorphosis

Corticosteroid signaling in frog metamorphosis

Highlights • Corticosterone and aldosterone levels peak at metamorphic climax. • Glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptors have widespread tissue distribution. • Corticosteroid hormones can inhibit or accelerate metamorphic progress. • The endogenous corticosteroid or receptor underlying metamo...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Corticosterone and aldosterone levels peak at metamorphic climax. • Glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptors have widespread tissue distribution. • Corticosteroid hormones can inhibit or accelerate metamorphic progress. • The endogenous corticosteroid or receptor underlying metamorphic events is not known.
