Comparative enzymology of 11 beta -hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 from glucocorticoid resistant (Guinea pig) versus sensitive (human) species.
Type 1 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase constitutes a prereceptor control mechanism through its ability to reduce dehydroglucocorticoids to the receptor ligands cortisol and corticosterone in vivo. We compared kinetic characteristics of the human and guinea pig 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogena...
