11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1: a tissue-specific regulator of glucocorticoid response.

TL;DR: It is speculated that hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and therefore reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate supply may be crucial in determining the directionality of 11beta-HSD1 activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) remains a pre-eminent discovery tool in clinical steroid investigations even in the era of fast liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS)

TL;DR: This work has led to develop a simplified graphical representation of quantitative urinary steroid hormone profiles and diagnostic ratios, which remains the most powerful discovery tool for defining steroid disorder metabolomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase knock-out mice lack 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1-mediated glucocorticoid generation

TL;DR: The studies define the critical requirement of hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase for 11β-HSD1 oxoreductase activity and add a new dimension to the investigation of 11 β- HSD1 as a therapeutic target in patients with the metabolic syndrome.
