The increased ratio of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 versus 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 in chronic periodontitis irrespective of obesity
11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1), which converts inactive cortisone to active cortisol, has been reported to play an important role in metabolic diseases as well as chronic inflammatory diseases. The involvement of 11β-HSD1 in chronic periodontitis was investigated in the present study. The relationship between the levels of 11β-HSD1, chronic periodontitis, and body mass index...
متن کاملThe expression of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 is increased in experimental periodontitis in rats
BACKGROUND The involvement of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1), which converts inactive glucocorticoids into active glucocorticoids intracellularly, in metabolic diseases and chronic inflammatory diseases has been elucidated. We recently reported that an increase in 11β-HSD1 expression was associated with chronic periodontitis in humans irrespective of obesity. To further clar...
متن کاملRegulation of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 by microRNA.
The enzyme 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11β-HSD2) is selectively expressed in aldosterone target tissues, conferring aldosterone selectivity for the mineralocorticoid receptor. A diminished activity causes salt-sensitive hypertension. The mechanism of the variable and distinct 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 gene (HSD11B2) expression in the cortical collecting duct is poorly...
متن کاملEpigenetic regulation of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 expression
The enzyme 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11βHSD2) is selectively expressed in aldosterone target tissues, where it confers aldosterone selectivity for the mineralocorticoid receptor by inactivating 11β-hydroxyglucocorticoids. Variable activity of 11βHSD2 is relevant for blood pressure control and hypertension. The present investigation aimed to elucidate whether an epigenetic mechani...
متن کامل11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 and the Metabolic Syndrome
In the past few years, efforts are being made to unravel the mechanisms endowed with the metabolic disturbances associated with obesity that predispose to the metabolic syndrome (MetSyn). The special pathogenic role of liver and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) functions has been particularly intriguing, and many hypotheses have been advanced to explain this association. Tissue-specific actions of...
