Polymorphisms in genes hydroxysteroid-dehydrogenase-17b type 2 and type 4 and endometrial cancer risk

3b-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase/D-Isomerase Activity Associated with the Human 17b-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 2 Isoform*

The type 2 isoform of human 17b-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17bHSD2) efficiently catalyzes the oxidative metabolism of androgens and estrogens, and it is expressed in a large series of human peripheral tissues. To obtain a better understanding of the regulation of local steroid biosynthesis and metabolism in human tissues, we have established a dual steroidogenic activity of the 17bHSD2 enzym...

Common Variations in Perilipin rs1052700 and FTO rs3751812 Genes, Central Obesity, and Risk Type-2 Diabetes

Background: Perilipins are proteins at the external level of the lipid glob in adipocytes steroid-generating cells and play a central role in lipid storage and breakdown. FTO gene is associated with Type-2 diabetes (T2D) and increased fat mass. Association of Perilipin and FTO genes polymorphism with T2D was investigated. Methods: Clinical traits in a random sample of 183 Iranian men and wom...

Zearalenone Inhibits Rat and Human 11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 2

Zearalenone is a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium spp. 11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases, isoforms 1 (HSD11B1) and 2 (HSD11B2), have been demonstrated to be the regulators of the local level of active glucocorticoid, which has a broad range of physiological actions. In the present study, the potency of zearalenone was tested for the inhibition of HSD11B1 and HSD11B2 in rat and human tissues. Zear...
