摘要: Abstract Huntington's disease (HD) is a genetic neurological disorder that causes severe and progressive motor, cognitive, psychiatric, metabolic symptoms. There robust, significant elevation in circulating levels of the stress hormone, cortisol, HD patients; however, consequences this are largely uncharacterized. Here, we evaluated whether elevated corticosterone, rodent homolog contributed to development symptomology transgenic mice. Wild-type (WT) R6/2 mice were given either 1) adrenalectomy with WT-level corticosterone replacement (10 ng/ml), 2) high HD-level (60 ng/ml), or 3) sham surgery without replacement. on showed rapid weight loss (p
