Apparent cortisone reductase deficiency: a functional defect in 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1.
A 36-yr-old woman was referred to the endocrine clinic for investigation of oligomenorrhea, hirsutism, and acne. She was plethoric and overweight with central fat distribution. Plasma cortisol was normal, but her adrenal glands were enlarged (CT scan). Urinary tetrahydrocortisone excretion rate was consistently high, raising the possibility of 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11beta-...
متن کامل3-Hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase activities of cortisone reductase.
The behaviour of various C(19) and C(18) steroids as substrates for crystalline preparations of cortisone reductase (EC 1.1.1.53) is described. 3alpha(Axial,3R)-, 3alpha(equatorial,3R)- and 3beta(axial,3S)-hydroxy steroid-NAD oxidoreductase activities are demonstrated. Four pairs of the substrates differed only in the shape of the a/b ring junction, three pairs differed only in substitution at ...

متن کاملCongenital methemoglobinemia methemoglobin reductase deficiency.
Shortly after the first white settlers crossed through the Cumberland Gap into the western foothills of the Appalachians there arose in one kinship several particu larly swarthy offspring characterized by deep bluish skin coloration. These folks — the Blue Fugates — apparently suffered no ill effects of this condition and indeed numerous off-spring were bom some of which also had this peculiar...
متن کاملA decrementing form of plasticity apparent in cerebellar learning.
Long-term synaptic plasticity is believed to underlie the capacity for learning and memory. In the cerebellum, for example, long-term plasticity contributes to eyelid conditioning and to learning in eye movement systems. We report evidence for a decrementing form of cerebellar plasticity as revealed by the behavioral properties of eyelid conditioning in the rabbit. We find that conditioned eyel...
