Dehydroepiandrosterone and Its CYP7B1 Metabolite 7α-Hydroxydehydroepiandrosterone Regulates 11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase 1 Directions in Rat Leydig Cells
Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate cytochrome P450-7B1 (CYP7B1) in the human and rat testes to regulate 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11β-HSD1) activity. We hypothesized that dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its product 7α-hydroxydehydroepiandrosterone (7αOHD) after cata...
