Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background 11 Beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (11HSD) are enzymes involved in the interconversion of cortisol and cortisone. There are two isoenzymes of 11HSD, 11HSD1 and 11HSD2. A causative role of 11HSD, particularly 11HSD1, in metabolic syndrome is well established in experimental animals. However, its role in human metabolic syndrome is less clear. We examined the influence of gl...
