Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor δ Suppresses 11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 2 Gene Expression in Human Placental Trophoblast Cells
15 Feb 2005
Abstract excerpt
Accumulating evidence suggests that the human placental enzyme 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11beta-HSD2) plays a key role in fetal development by controlling fetal exposure to maternal glucocorticoids. Recently, the nuclear peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPAR delta) has been found to be the most abundantly expressed PPAR subtype in the human placenta, but its function in this...
