The crystal structure of guinea pig 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 provides a model for enzyme-lipid bilayer interactions.
The metabolic reduction of 11-keto groups in glucocorticoid steroids such as cortisone leads to the nuclear receptor ligand cortisol. This conversion is an example of pre-receptor regulation and constitutes a novel pharmacological target for the treatment of metabolic disorders such as insulin resis...
