- Item11 beta-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 is Overexpressed in Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue of Morbidly Obese Patients(SPRINGER, 2009) Munoz, Rodrigo; Carvajal, Cristian; Escalona, Alex; Boza, Camilo; Perez, Gustavo; Ibanez, Luis; Fardella, Carlos11 beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11 beta-HSD1) enzyme catalyzes interconversion of inactive cortisone to active cortisol.

Controversies regarding which fat depots [subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) or visceral adipose tissue (VAT)] have higher expression still remain. The aim of this work was to evaluate 11 beta-HSD1 expression in SAT and VAT of obese patients and evaluate its association to metabolic features of metabolic syndrome.
