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.

Carbenoxolone increases hepatic insulin sensitivity in man: a novel role for 11-oxosteroid reductase in enhancing glucocorticoid receptor activation.

TL;DR: It is inferred that carbenoxolone, by inhibiting hepatic 11 beta-reductase and reducing intrahepatic cortisol concentration, increases hepatic insulin sensitivity and decreases glucose production, and plasma cortisone provides an inactive pool that can be converted to active glucocorticoids at sites where 11 Beta-Reductase is expressed.
