11-deoxy Corticosterone (DOC) is an endogenous mineralocorticoid synthesized in the zona fasciculata and zona glomerulosa of the adrenal gland.{41026} It is a metabolite of progesterone (Item No. 15876) and precursor to aldosterone (Item No. 15273) and corticosterone (Item No. 16063).{41025} DOC is metabolized to the neuroactive compound (3α,5α)-2,21-dihydroxypregnan-20-one (THDOC), which positively modulates GABAA receptors and produces effects similar to barbiturates in rats.{41027} Injections of naloxone (Item Nos. 15594 | ISO60191) and corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) increase, while dexamethasone decreases, DOC in cynomolgus monkeys.{41026} DOC levels are increased 3.4-fold in obese and diabetic mice.{41025}
