Associations of ‘Relative corticosterone deficiency’ with genetic variation in <i>CYP17A1</i> and metabolic syndrome features
2019-05-29
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Context and objective</h4> Common genetic variants in CYP17A1 associate with higher blood pressure, putatively from impaired 17α-hydroxylase activity and mineralocorticoid excess. However, the same variants protect against obesity and insulin resistance. We tested whether CYP17A1 variants that enhance 17α-hydroxylase activity cause ‘relative corticosterone deficiency’. Since corticosteron...
