Interconversion of cortisol and cortisone by 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases type 1 and 2 in the perfused human placenta.

abstract：:11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (11β-HSD1 and 11β-HSD2) are involved in the complex mechanism of human parturition. The present study examined mRNA expression and activity of membrane 11β-HSD1 and placental 11β-HSD2 in postdate pregnancies according to response of labor induction. In comparison to postdate wo...
